        D
It's a long straight road and the engine is deep,

   G
I can't help thinkin' of a good night's sleep,

         A                                        D
and the long long roads of my life are a-callin' me

       D
These rough old hands are a-glued to the wheel,

   G
my eyes full of sand from the way they feel,

         A                                          D
and the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me.

        D
It's a long tough haul from a-way down south,

   G
a man's gotta find a little bread for his mouth,

       A                                        D
and a home for a girl as sweet as my honey can be.

         D
So it's down through the gears, she's a-startin' to pull,

     G
the gauge on the tank is a-showin' near full,

         A                                          D
and the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me.

         A
There's rain on the road and I can feel the load

          D
start a-shiftin' in a dance,

     A
too late, I see the post and I haven't got a ghost

       D
of a chance, a-ha-ha-no

     D
The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time,

     G
The song they sing is a part of my mind,

       A                                        D
And I can't believe it's a-really happenin' to me.

           D
Oh but I’m over the edge and down the mountain side,

    G
I know they'll tell about the night I died,

        A                                                D
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me.

         A
There's rain on the road and I can feel the load

          D
start a-shiftin' in a dance,

     A
too late, I see the post and I haven't got a ghost

       D
of a chance, a-ha-ha-no

     D
The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time,

     G
The song they sing is a part of my mind,

       A                                        D
And I can't believe it's a-really happenin' to me.

           D
Oh but I’m over the edge and down the mountain side,

    G                    
I know they'll tell about the night I died,

        A                                                D
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me.

        A                                                D
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me.
