Misc Originals – Dan Hughart - Eighteen Wheel Prison (Guitar)

Em      Em         C          Em
Rolling steel on a highway to nowhere

              Em
Chains of the road

      C          Bm
Can’t outrun the despair

         C            Bm              Em
Eighteen wheels groan like a mournful yell

               C               Em/B      Em
Feels like I’m trapped in this prison cell

        Em             C
Oh this eighteen wheel prison

      B       Em
Won’t let me be

Em               C
Keeps me locked away

         B
Far from where I’m free

C               Am        Em         C#dim
Shackled to the rhythm of rubber and rail

       C              B             Em
Carrying my chains on this lonesome trail

                   Em
The winds whispers lies

     C          Em
Says freedom’s ahead

                Em            Am
But the asphalt speaks truth

            Bm
I’m chained instead

            C          Am           Em
Sweat on my brow and a weight on my mind

             C            B              Em
Every mile I drive leaves freedom behind

        Em             C
Oh this eighteen wheel prison

      B        Em
Won’t let me be

Em               Am7
Keeps me locked away

         B
Far from where I’m free

C               Am        Em          C#dim
Shackled to the rhythm of rubber and rail

    C                 B             Em
Carrying my chains on this lonesome trail

   Em
My heart’s in the rearview

Em
Slipping away

Cmaj7           C              Bm7.    B
Dreams are just smoke that the engines betray

  Em                         Cmaj7 C  Am
I talk to the moon ‘cause it feels my hell

C                  C/B      B
Don’t need no bars for this prison cell

        Em             C
Oh this eighteen wheel prison

      B7        Em
Won’t let me be

Em               C
Keeps me locked away

         B
Far from where I’m free

C               Am        Em     A/C#
Shackled to the rhythm of rubber and rail

     C                B             Em
Carrying my chains on this lonesome trail
