G C G D A7
A7 G A7 D
[Verse]
D A7 D I'm a mechanised swaggie in a Kenworth T-Nine-Fifty A7 I haul big freight across the paddock to Perth
Me and my girl share the wheel and the berth
G A7 D We can make it in 48 hours, from Sydney.
[Verse]
D A7 D I used to like hearing my dad tell of the depression A7 Lookin' for work and getting knocked back
Shouldered his swag and took to the track
G A7 D Remembers each camp and every good cook on the stations.
[Chorus]
G C D But times have changed old timer G C D The years have passed you by G C D Some things never alter at all A7 Let me tell you why;
[Verse]
D A7 D The dusty roads you tramped, are now all highways A7 The road camp now, a sleeper cab
The billy of tea, a quick coffee we grab
G A7 D G I live on the road, I’m the mechanised swaggie of this day.(let’s go now)
[Instrumental]

A7 A7 A7 A7
G A7 D
[Chorus]
G C D Yeah things have changed old timer G C D And yet they’re still the same G C D The Swaggie's old tradition lives on A7 In the truckin' game.
[Verse]
D A7 D Cause I'm a mechanised swaggie in a Kenworth T-Nine-Fifty A7 Checkin' the gauges and the axle weights
Listening to the sound of the Jacob's brake
G A7 D We live on the road, we’re the mechanized swaggies of this day. Hey!
[Verse]
D A7 D I'm a mechanised swaggie in a Kenworth T-Nine-Fifty A7 I haul big freight across the paddock to Perth
Me and my girl share the wheel and the berth
G A7 D G D We live on the road, we’re the mechanized swaggies of this day. Hey!
