My older brother Tommy, Was a lineman rest his soul,
     A               E                  B7                   E
His job was hanging hot wires, On them high-line power poles,
        A                  E                A             E
Every morning bright and early, He'd climb way up in the sky,
       A           E              B7               E
And I never understood it, So one day I asked him why.
 
[Chorus 1]
            A         E         A            E
He said it pays big money, And man I'm into that,
    A         E                B7                E
It pays big money, If you're willing to take a chance,
        A                   E                  A             E
Let me tell you something sonny, You ought to see my bank account,

He'd travel across the country, Blowing buildings to the ground,
     A                E                A             E
He carried a case of dynamite seemed, Everywhere he went,
         A                   E                B7              E
And he smoked them big long cigars, And he'd wink at you and grin.

        A         E                B7                E
And It pays big money, If you're willing to take a chance,
        A                   E                  A            E
Let me tell you something sonny, You ought to see my bank account,
