Slim Dusty - Road train blues

Ano^Cther day is dawning^Am out on the lonely^C plains, ^{Am C}Here am I a'drovin'^Am on the big beef tra^Gin. ^{G C}Drivers there before me, ^Amsome behind^C me, too, ^{Am C}Just like me I know th^Amey've got the road train blues. ^{G G7 C C}

You dri^Cve all night and listen to th^Ce engine groan, ^{C C} With lots^F of time to think abo^Fut the folks back home, ^{F F} I've al^Cways been a wanderer, ^Amhad these ramb^Clin' shoes, ^{Am C}Guess that I was born to kn^Amow the road train blues. ^{G G7 C C}

I’d b^Cetter stop and get out, a^Am careful che^Cck to make, ^Am I ^Chope there's nothing going or abou^Amt to break. ^{G G} No ti^Cme to boil a billie, ^Amgot no^C time to lose, ^{Am C}Gotta keep a rollin'^Am with my road train bl^Gues. ^{G7 C C}

You dri^Cve all night and listen to th^Ce engine groan, ^{C C} With lots^F of time to think abo^Fut the folks back home, ^{F F} I've al^Cways been a wanderer, ^Amhad these ramb^Clin' shoes, ^{Am C}Guess that I was born to kn^Amow the road train blues. ^{G G7 C C}

I'l^Cl bet in every wag^Amon, there^C's a beast that's down, ^Am You've got ^Cto get him on his feet ^Amand turned around. ^{G G} You sw^Ceat and curse and struggle, get kn^Amocked about and bru^Cised, ^Am Your tem^Cper's getting shorter with ^Amthe road train blues. ^{G G7 C C}

Your eye^Cs are nearly blinded by t^Amhe red bu^Clldust, ^Am I ^Chope there's nothing going or abou^Amt to bust. ^{G G C}Tourist buses passing^Am, on a plea^Csure cruise, ^Am They wav^Ce and seem to mock your rollin^Am' road train blues. ^{G G7 C C}

You dri^Cve all night and listen to th^Ce engine groan, ^{C C} With lots^F of time to think abo^Fut the folks back home, ^{F F} I've al^Cways been a wanderer, ^Amhad these ramb^Clin' shoes, ^{Am C}Guess that I was born to kn^Amow the road train blues. ^{G G7 C C} I g^Duess that I was born to know^Bm the road....... train....^A. ^A
