Slim Dusty – I Dont Sleep At Night (Guitar)

E
There's nothing can wipe out my fear of burnin',

        B                    F#            B
And that's why the trucks won't let me sleep at night,

                                 F#
My window overlooks the highway goin' out,

                                     B
And the interstaters roll through every night,

           D#                     G#m
I look out and see the semis down below me,

C#                                F#
Grinding to a halt before the lights.

B                                      F#
There's a Bulldog Mack with old Bob in the cabin,

                                        B
And I wonder what the next big rig will be,

D#                               G#m
Maybe Old Red Ned or even the Mary Kathleen,

          C#                          F#
And the next to roll I know should be me.

    B                      E                          B
And I don't sleep at night because the trucks won't let me,

C#
Wheels are rollin' thunder in my brain,

F#
The bottle by my side keeps back the nightmares,

            E             F#             B
'Til the sound of diesels bring it back again,

                         E               B
And I still can see the flames on Razor Mountain,

                                         E
Oh I smell the smoke and feel it blur my sight

           B                 F#                 B
And that's why the trucks won't let me sleep at night,

                                      F#
No transport boss will take me on because they say,

                                  B
I'm not the driver now I used to be,

      D#                               G#m
They seem to think the bottle's really got me down,

       C#                             F#
Ah but put me in the cabin and they'll see,

       B                                 F#
And I'll bet my hands are steady as the next mans,

                                            B
And I sometimes think there's diesel in my veins,

   D#                                G#m
Oh whatever reason could there be from feelin',

   C#                       F#
The way I do about the old four lanes.

      B                  E                B
But I don't sleep at night because the trucks won't let me,

     C#
Wheels are rollin' thunder in my brain,

      F#
The bottle by my side keeps back the nightmares,

           E              F#            B
'Til the sound of diesels bring it back again,

                         E                B
And I still can see the flames on Razor Mountain,

                                          E
Oh I smell the smoke and feel it blur my sight

                                          B
There's nothing can wipe out my fear of burnin',

   E         B
And that's why the trucks won't let me sleep at night,
