Chords

[Verse 1]
              G
The night was black, the roads were icy

         C                    G
Snow was falling, drifts were high
And I was weary, from my driving
                 D7       G
And I stopped to rest for awhile
I sat down at a truck stop
      C                 G
I was thinking about my past
[Chorus 1]
                                   C
I've had a long streak of that bad luck

        G            D7      G7
But I'm praying it's gone at last
[Chorus 2]
G
Gone at last, gone at last

        C             G
Gone at last, gone at last

                           C
I had a long streak of bad luck

      G         D       G
But I pray it's gone at last
Ooo,oo,oo,oo,oo,oo...Ooo, oo, oo, oo, oo
C            G       D                G
(Walk up in G)
[Verse 2] I ain't dumb I kicked around some
        C          G
I don't fall too easily

                             C
But that boy looked so dejected

        G          D    G
He just grabbed my sympathy
Sweet little soul now, what's your problem?
        C                 G
Tell me why you're so downcast
[Chorus 1]
                                   C
I've had a long streak of that bad luck

        G            D7      G7
But I'm praying it's gone at last
[Chorus 2]
G
Gone at last, gone at last
Gone at last, gone at last
        G
Gone at last, gone at last

                           C
I had a long streak of bad luck

      G         D       G
But I pray it's gone at last
Oo,oo,oo [Verse 3] Once in a while from out of nowhere
               C                        G
When you don't expect it, and you're unprepared

                                    C
Somebody will come and lift you higher

         G       D       G
And your burdens will be shared
Yes I do believe, if I hadn't met you
                 C       G
I might still be sinking fast
[Chorus 1]
                                   C
I've had a long streak of that bad luck

        G            D7      G7
But I'm praying it's gone at last
[Chorus 2]
G
Gone at last, gone at last
Gone at last, gone at last
        G
Gone at last, gone at last

                           C
I had a long streak of bad luck

      G         D       G
But I pray it's gone at last
Oo,oo,oo
