[C] Well off of just the old skid row, _ _
[G] on the outskirts of town, _ _ _
[F] There lived an old logger, _ _
[G] who'd never slow down. _ _ _
[C] But when the last tree had fallen, _ _
[G] the men all went to town. _ _
[F] The old white-haired logger figured it [G] was time to lie down.
[C] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [C] Well his hands were all calloused, _ _ [G] and they were withered with age.
_ _ [F] Many a tree had crossed the Atlantic, _ [G] just like the turn of a page.
_ _ [C] Well cutting and skidding, _ _ _ [G] that's what he's always done.
_ _ [F] But now the old white-haired logger figures [G] that his life's race is [C] run. _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ Loggers should all go [C] to heaven. _ _ _
[G] Without loggers, where would [C] we be? _ _ _
[F] _ Loggers should all go [C] to heaven.
_ Or [G] go to heaven and lie [C] down with thee.
_ [Am] _ _
[C] So he bent his old knees, _ _
[G] he folded his hands. _ _
[F] He prayed to the heavens, Lord, _ _
[G] could you please understand. _ _ _
[C] If there's a place up among you, Lord, _ _
[G] for an old logger like me. _ _
[F] Could you find me that special place, _
[G] where it's got some mighty big [C] trees. _ _
_ _ _ As I've heard it said, Lord, _ _ [G] will all loggers go to hell.
_ _ [F] But then again, how could they know?
_ [G] Well, how could they tell?
There's _ [C] lots of things down here that [G] most people never see.
_ _ _ [F] Like the hell I've already been through, _ _ just cutting down those trees.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ Loggers should all go [C] to heaven. _ _ _
[G] Without loggers, where would we [C] be? _ _ _ _
[F] _ Loggers should all go [C] to heaven. _ _
[G] Or go to heaven and lie down [C] with thee. _ _ _ _
We raise all our children, Lord, _ _
[G] and their mothers get passed on. _
[F] Like I said, cutting is good.
Well, [G] that's what I've always done. _ _
[C] But I feel you know me, Lord. _ _
[G] I've done my job well. _
[F] Could you please find me that special place to [G] _ save me from hell. _ _
[F] _ Loggers should all go [C] to heaven. _ _ _
[G] Without loggers, where would [C] we be? _ _ _ _
[F] Loggers should all go [C] to heaven.
Or _ _ go [G] to heaven _ and lie [C] down with thee. _ _ _
