        triplets last 4).


[Verse 1]

        F#
        Makin' a living the old hard way
        Takin' and giving by day by day
                                                E
        I dig snow and rain and the bright sunshine
                      F#
        Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)


[Verse 2]

        My dog Sam eats purple flowers
        We ain't got much but what we got's ours
        We dig snow and rain and the bright sunshine
        Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)
        Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)


[Chorus]

        F#  E    F#
        I  feel fine
             E            F#   E   F#
        I'm talkin' bout peace of mind
        E          F#  E   F#
        I'm gonna take my time
                         E
        I'm gettin' the good sign
                      F#
        Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)
                      F#
        Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)


[Verse 3]

        Loving the free and feelin' spirit
        Of huggin' a tree when you get near it
        Diggin' the snow and the rain and the bright sunshine
        Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)
        Draggin' the line (draggin' the line)

        (repeat chorus)


[Outro]

        F#
        La la la la la la la la
        draggin' the line (draggin' the line)
