1.  Into the boarder,
    E            D	
    boarder of Nevada,
    C                  B
    lives a man with a gray woolen cap.
    C                        D
    He'll fix your chains in 5 minutes flat.


2.  Waits for a snowstorm. 
    Jumps in his pickup.
    Parks by the side of the road.
    Fastens your chains at 20 bucks a throw.

Bridge: "Hey, Charlie, how much you made tonight?"
                                D
        "I'm not tellin', but I might quit early.
                Em
        Cause I hate it when it's slow.
          Bm
        I start to feel the cold.
                 C                           D
        And I've made enough to last me 'til Sunday."


3.  Back in his kitchen.
    Waits 'til it's warmer.
    Pulls off his gloves and his coat.
    Stashes his money in his top bureau drawer.

4.  Into the boarder,
    boarder of Nevada,
    sleeps a man with a gray woolen cap,
    C                       D                  E
    dreaming of snow as the winds go rat-a-tat-tat.
