    G                       C
The cab is in shambles, the bearings are shot.

    G         G/B            D
The tyres are more than well worn:

    G                         C
The trailers are buckled, the skid plates are bent,

        G         D               G
All the tarps are discoloured and torn.

           Em                      D
The are no dogs and chains, just a bag of old ropes.

                               G
All knotted, too short and too frayed.

       Em                        C          D
And it looks like the outfit has never been washed,

N.C.      C            D              G
Since the day when the gear was first made.

          G                          C
There are four broken side lights, a broken tool-box

    G             G/B           D
The mud flaps are gone from the rear.

    G                              C            
The floor boards are missing, the “U” bolts are loose

       G              D                G
Not at all what you'd call first class gear.

         Em                       D
From the mud and the dust, inches deep on the wheels,

                                 G
I can see hard work written thereon;

    Em                      C              D
One look underneath at that oil-splattered sump,

N.C.  C          D            G
And I know every oil seal has gone.

G                    C
How many hundreds of tons has it hauled,

    G        G/B           D
And how many roads does it know?

         G                     C
This old rig one time was some truck jockey’s joy,

        G          D           G
Ah, but that was a long time ago.

        Em                         D
Yes, it lies here a wreck and they rob it for spares

                            G
T'would soon be devoured by rust;

        Em                    C       D
Or some bulldozer driver will bury it deep

N.C.   C              D              G
In its shroud of mud, grease and bulldust.

    G                       C
The cab is in shambles, the bearings are shot.

    G         G/B            D
The tyres are more than well worn:

    G                         C
The trailers are buckled, the skid plates are bent,

        G         D               G
All the tarps are discoloured and torn.
