John Williamson – Truckies Wife (Guitar)

C                              Em          Am         C
She's looking out the window, dreaming on fading lights

C
Her man is on the job again, the long one this time for seven nights

C                                                                  F
He's loaded up and ready, kicked his tyres and wheeled off to the west

F                             C
And she's already feeling lonely

C                           Em              Am         C
And the pain runs down her cheek and on her dressing gown

F                                                                     C
She gives all the love she can, she doesn't plan to slow her truckie down

C                        Em           Am                            C
And she battles with her babies and lately been thinkin' about her life

F                                                          C
Is there anything in store, is there more for a truckie's wife

C                                                                          F
And it's raining down in Willow Tree, you wouldn't hear a diesel truck tonight

C
Full of Murrurundi tucker and a cuppa and start to feel alright

C                                                            F
While she sleeps off another day of her underpaid full time job

C
Schoolin' and feedin' and dressin' and lovin' her little mob

C                                                                    F
And the motor's running hot at his feet and he's thinkin' about his boys

F                                                         C
He's more like an uncle, comes home with ice creams and toys

C                                                    F
But at least he's got a job and seems like he's in control

Dm                                      C
But he'd rather be at home with his woman

C                           Em              Am         C
And the pain runs down her cheek and on her dressing gown

F                                                                     C
She gives all the love she can, she doesn't plan to slow her truckie down

C                        Em           Am                            C
And she battles with her babies and lately been thinkin' about her life

C                                                          C
Is there anything in store, is there more for a truckie's wife

C                                                          C
Is there anything in store, is there more for a truckie's wife
