[Verse]
Em
Strings that bend, ears that ring
Em
A microphone, a song to sing
G Am
A rowdy crowd gettin' loud and lit-up stages
C D Em
All night to play, tools of the trade
[Verse]
Em
Words that rhyme and an old train beat
Em
A heart that runs on melodies
G A
I get a brand-new song every time it breaks
C D Em
I put it on a page, tools of the trade
[Chorus]
E Em
Steel and wood, put 'em in my hands
C G
Give me four on the floor and a five-piece band
C G
Pourin' down my soul, travelin' down the same road
B
My heroes paved
[Verse]
Em
It's a lot of miles, on a little sleep
Em
But it's worth it all when y'all stomp your feet
G A
I wouldn't trade the world for the choice I've made
C D Em
Or the dues I've paid, tools of the trade, come on!
[Solo]
Em Em Em Em
G A C D Em
[Chorus]
E Em
Steel and wood, put 'em in my hands
C G
Give me four on the floor and a five-piece band
C G
Pourin' down my soul, travelin' down the same road
B
My heroes paved
[Verse]
Em
Ain't nothing else I'd rather do
Em
Than stand right here, play for you
G Am
Night after night, day after day
C D Em
I'm glad the good Lord made, tools of the trade
[Solo]
