Choppin' Wood - Van Morrison[00:00:00]
Written by:Van Morrison[00:00:01]
You wired the trains and went back home to St. Claire's shores[00:00:19]
Before you became a spark down at the yard[00:00:23]
You were passing through those hungry years alone[00:00:27]
You were just trying to make a living out in Detroit[00:00:30]
When you came back off the boats you didn't want to go anywhere[00:00:36]
You sit down to TV in your favourite chair[00:00:40]
You watch the big picture fade away down at Harland and Wolff[00:00:45]
But you still kept on choppin' wood[00:00:49]
And you came back home to Belfast[00:00:54]
So you could be with us like[00:00:59]
You lived your life of quiet desperation on the side[00:01:03]
Going to the shipyard in the morning on your bike[00:01:08]
Well the spark was gone but you carried on[00:01:12]
You always did the best you could[00:01:17]
You sent for us once but everything fell through[00:01:20]
But you still kept on choppin' wood choppin' wood[00:01:25]
Well you came back home to Belfast[00:02:03]
So you could be with us like[00:02:07]
And you lived a life of quiet desperation on the side[00:02:12]
Going to the shipyard in the morning on your bike[00:02:16]
WeIl the spark was gone but you carried on[00:02:20]
Well you did just the best that you could[00:02:25]
You sent for us one time but everything fell through[00:02:29]
But you still kept on choppin' wood[00:02:33]
Kept on choppin' wood[00:02:37]
Kept on choppin' wood[00:02:41]
Local man chops wood[00:02:45]
You know you did the best you could[00:02:49]
Well everything just fell through[00:02:53]
Kept on choppin' wood[00:02:57]
Chop chop chop chop chop[00:02:59]
Chop chop chop chop chop[00:03:04]
Chop chop chop keep on choppin'[00:03:08]
Chop chop chop choppin' wood[00:03:12]
