[Intro] E [Verse 1]
E
I run a large truck mister
And I live in Echuca and every Friday night
          A
I have to run it down to Melbourne

                                                         E
I start out in Numurkah, I make Shepparton by the fadin’ light

       B7                              A.           A7
I get another load in Seymour, then I'm hittin’ Kalkallo?

        A                      E
I'm in Campbellfield about midnight
[Chorus]
E          D          A
And on the side of my truck it says

E
Boomaroo Flyer

         D            A
When you ride in this truck

          D        G
You don't ride any higher

    A         D            G
And everyone along the road

          D        E

[Verse 2]
E
When I'm on my run
I get a lot of time for thinking Like where’s this truck taking me to
            A
I think of rollin’ on this road when
I'm run down an’ old
                                   E
And all the other things I wanna do

           B7                         A
But when I see that big candle from my cabin window

                                      E
I can smile cause I'm heading home to you
[Chorus]
E          D          A
And on the side of my truck it says

E
Boomaroo Flyer

         D            A
When you ride in this truck

          D        G
You don't ride any higher

    A         D            G
And everyone along the road

          D        E

E
I was out one night
It was late on a Sunday And a young man steps out and flags me down
       A
He was all of fourteen
His father had been drinkin, he was hell bent
                 E
On gettin' outta town

       B7
By the time he cooled off

     A
We’d put some miles behind us

                                     E
But eventually we turned that truck around
[Chorus]
E          D          A
And on the side of my truck it says

E
Boomaroo Flyer

         D            A
When you ride in this truck

          D        G
You don't ride any higher

    A         D            G
And everyone along the road

          D        E

          D        E
