Chords

Original: capo on 7 [Verse 1]
        A       
There's ice and snow on the northern roads

        E
And the Jersey Pike is closed

D                      E       A
Have to go and do some drivin' tonight

     A                            E
They say I'd be a fool if I would ride those icy roads

      D                  E           A
But a little storm ain't stoppin' me tonight
[Chorus]
          D
I'm gonna wear out the turnpike

A
Rack up those miles

E                            D           A
Keep this rig a rollin', I'm in it every mile

       D
'Cause she's in Oklahoma and

A
I'm up in Maine

   E             D                       A
So diesel sing a song that will bring me home

               E               
Doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

D              A
Doodle doo doo doo
[Verse 2]
          A
There's a red light turnin' behind me

          E
There's a trooper on my tail

      D                   E                A
I can tell I won't get to New York town on time

      A
If he decides to pull me over

          E
And if he get's me on the scale

          D              E              A
I'm gonna have to tell a tale or take a fine
[Chorus]
          D
I'm gonna wear out the turnpike

A
Rack up those miles

E                            D           A
Keep this rig a rollin', I'm in it every mile

       D
'Cause she's in Oklahoma and

A
I'm up in Maine

   E             D                       A
So diesel sing a song that will bring me home

               E               
Doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

D              A
Doodle doo doo doo
[Verse 3]
         A
With the snow against my windshield

       E
I will run on through the night

            D           E              A
There's not stoppin' me once I hit the road

          A
Cause the turnpike's like my second home

      E
And I know it like my hand

   D             E                     A
So diesel sing a song that'll bring me home
[Chorus]
          D
I'm gonna wear out the turnpike

A
Rack up those miles

E                            D           A
Keep this rig a rollin', I'm in it every mile

       D
'Cause she's in Oklahoma and

A
I'm up in Maine

   E             D                       A
So diesel sing a song that will bring me home

               E               
Doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

D              A
Doodle doo doo doo
