Corb Lund Band - Roughest Neck Around

Capo: 2nd Fret

INTRO:  [G]

[G]He's got a real long reach in the derrick when he leans
He's been all around the world on the big oil rigs
With the [C]welders and the trucks on the black gold rush
And the [G]diesel burning cat motors growling in the mud

CHORUS:
You [D]better hire him on, he's the roughest neck around
He got the [C]power in his hand to pull the dragons from the ground  [G]

It's [G]35 below or it's 98 above
He's workin' through it all cause baby this is what he loves
Drives [C]150 miles makes sure his kids are doing fine
And he [G]sees em when he can but he's married to his iron

CHORUS

[G]He's a good hand to have on, and he's throwin' on the tongs
Spinnin' chain and slidin' high side all night long
And he's [C]tripping in his pipe, and he torques it good and tight
And ya [G]gotta figure Eddy's got his mud weight right

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL:  [G]   [G]   [C]   [G]   [D]   [C]   [G]

Well his [G]mind's a little tired but his back is plenty strong
Got his green kings and filthy frozen cover alls on
And he's [C]drillin' by the inch and he's haulin on the winch
Takin' [G]fuel from the tanks on his short change shift

CHORUS (x2)

[G]He brings the power to people, the power to the people
[G]Cause he's the roughest neck around
[G]He's pullin' dragons from the ground
[G]He gets the power to the people, the power to the people
