[Intro] E E D C# A E E E D [Verse 1]
C#    A      E
Well, it's a long straight road and the engine is deep

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

        B                                        E
And the long, long roads of my life are a-callin' me

            E
Yeah, these rough old hands are a-glued to the wheel

   A
My eyes full of sand from the way they feel

        B                                          E
And the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me
[Interlude] D C# [Verse 2]
A      E
It's a long tough haul from a-way down south

  A
A man's gotta find a little bread for his mouth

      B                                        E
And a home for a girl as sweet as my honey can be

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

    A
The gauge on the tank is a-showin' near full

        B                                          E
And the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me
[Pre-Chorus]
              B                                                E
Well, there's rain on the road and I can feel the load start a-shiftin' in a dance

    B                                                    E
Too late, I see the posts and I haven't got a ghost of a chance Oh-hah-hah-no
[Chorus]
    E
The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time

    A
The song they're singin' is a part of my mind

      B                                         E
And I can't believe this is really happenin' to me

        E
So it's over the edge and down the mountain side

  A
I know they'll tell about the night I died

       B                                                E
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me.
[Instrumental] E A B E E A B E [Pre-Chorus]
              B                                           E
Well, there's rain on the road, I can feel the load start shiftin' in a dance

    B                                                 E                    C
Too late, I see the posts, I haven't got a ghost of a chance Oh-hah-hah-no
[Chorus]

The song they're singin' is a part of my mind

      C                                         F

       C                                                F
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me.

       C                                                F
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me. Hey.

       C                                                Bb   Ab  F
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me.
