[Verse 1]
  A                      D  A
I lived on a farm out in Iowa

  A                                   E
I pulled the corn and I worked in the hay

  A                                 D
Got trapped by a girl but I wiggled free

  A                     E       A
Heard the Oregon timber calling me
[Chorus]
  A                             D     A
Will you tell me something, Mr. Lumberjack?

  A                       E
Is it one for forward and three for back?

      A                        D
Is it two for stop or four for go?

A                                A
Boy, ask a whistle punk, I don't know
[Verse 2]
        A                        D            A
Well, I learned this fact from a logger named Ray

    A                     E
You don't cut timber on a windy day

A                                         D
Stay out of the woods when the moisture's low

       A                   E            A
Or you ain't gonna live to collect your dough
[Chorus]
  A                             D     A
Will you tell me something, Mr. Lumberjack?

  A                       E
Is it one for forward and three for back?

      A                        D
Is it two for stop or four for go?

A                          E      A
Boy, ask a whistle punk, I don't know
[Verse 3]
         A                      D          A
Well you work in the woods from morning to night

A                          E
You laugh and sing and you cuss and fight

A                              D
On Saturday night you go to Eugene

         A                    E           A
And on a Sunday morning, your pockets are clean
[Chorus]
  A                             D     A
Will you tell me something, Mr. Lumberjack?

  A                       E
Is it one for forward and three for back?

      A                        D
Is it two for stop or four for go?

A                                A
Boy, ask a whistle punk, I don't know
