Frozen Logger Tab uke di James Stevens

C         G
As I sat down one evening,
 G               C
'Twas in a small cafe,
 C               F
A forty year old waitress
 G              C 
To me these words did say:

C         G
I see that you're a logger,
 G               C
And not a common bum,
 C               F
For no one but a logger
 G              C
Stirs coffee with his thumb.

C         G
I once had a logger lover,
 G               C
There's none like him today.
 C               F
If you poured whiskey on it,
 G              C
He'd eat a bail of hay.

C         G
He never shaved a whisker
 G               C
Off of his horny hide;
 C               F
He hammered in the bristles,
 G              C
And bit them off inside.

C         G
My logger came to see me,
 G               C
'Twas on a winter's day;
 C               F
He held me in a fond embrace
 G              C
That broke three vertebrae.

C         G
He kissed me when we parted
 G               C
So hard it broke my jaw;
 C               F
I couldn't speak to tell him
 G              C
He forgot his mackinaw.

C         G
I saw my logger lover
 G               C
Go stridin' through the snow,
 C               F
A-goin' gaily homeward
 G              C
At forty-eight below.

C         G
The weather tried to freeze him,
 G               C
It did its very best;
 C               F
At a hundred degrees below zero,
 G              C
He buttoned up his vest.

C         G
It froze clear down to China,
 G               C
It froze to the stars above;
 C               F
At a thousand degrees below zero,
 G              C
It froze my logger love.

C         G
They tried in vain to thaw him,
 G               C
And if you believe it sir,
 C               F
They made him into axe blades
 G              C
To cut the Douglas Fir.

C         G
And so I lost my logger,
 G               C
And to this cafe I've come,
 C               F
And it's here I wait for someone
 G              C
To stir coffee with his thumb.
