FF  C majorC A7A7 D MajorD G+G C majorC



🎸 Verse 1:
C majorC        G+G      C majorC
The year is two thousand and eighty
       G+G     C majorC
And hardly a highway remains
FF            C majorC   A7A7
Gone are the days of the diesel
  D MajorD             G+G
And songs about wrecks in the rain
  C majorC      G+G       C majorC
The Macs and MacLeans have all rusted away
        G+G     C majorC
The Harvesters rot in the sand
    FF            C majorC      A7A7
And in a deserted truck stop sits Tennessee Thompson
  D MajorD             G+G
The world's last truck drivin' man

🎸 Verse 2:
C majorC       G+G      C majorC
He lit up the world's last Lucky
          G+G    C majorC
Got his last cup of coffee refilled
    FF           C majorC     A7A7
Then he stared at the sky for one final high
     D MajorD             G+G
Took the world's last little white pill
    C majorC       G+G      C majorC
He said world you are losin' your truckers
         G+G       C majorC
And your suckers do not give a damn
    FF               C majorC       A augmentedA
You're freightin' in space and there just ain't no place
   D MajorD      G+G       C majorC
For a hard ridin' truck drivin' man


🎸 Bridge:
  FF      G+G       C majorC
The world's last truck drivin' man
  FF    G+G       C majorC
His left arm is losin' its tan
  FF       G+G       C majorC      FF
The rest all went broke and just went up in smoke
     C majorC      G+G       C majorC
He's the world's last truck drivin' man

🎸 Verse 3:
C majorC           G+G      C majorC
Then he sat there and drank to old mem'ries
           G+G     C majorC
And Doreen sat there dryin' his tears
 FF             C majorC       A7A7
Doreen was the world's last truck stoppin' waitress
  D MajorD              G+G
She was weary and worn with the years
   C majorC      G+G      C majorC
So he put his last dime in the world's last jukebox
         G+G      C majorC
For the lady he'd loved for so long
  FF           C majorC        A augmentedA
And there in that deserted truck stop they danced
    D MajorD      G+G       C majorC   D MajorD
To the world's last truck drivin' song


🎸 Verse 4:
D MajorD          A augmentedA      D MajorD
Then he climbed up inside his ol' semi
        A augmentedA         D MajorD
And Doreen she crawled up at his side
  G+G            D MajorD      BB
He shifted it down and the diesel's sad sound
   E MajorE             A augmentedA
Said this is your last homeward ride
   D MajorD      A augmentedA  D MajorD
So he whispered 10-4 to her and the Lord
         A augmentedA       D MajorD
As the microphone fell from his hand
    G+G            D MajorD     B7B7
And he came to the exit marked Tennessee Thompson
  E MajorE             A augmentedA
The world's last truck drivin' man


🎸 Verse 5:
    D MajorD      A augmentedA           D MajorD
He was high ballin' straight through them bright pearly gates
          A augmentedA      D MajorD
When behind in the dust of his rig
     G+G          D MajorD    B7B7
Come the wailin' siren of ol' Smokey McKenzie
  E MajorE            A augmentedA
The world's last interstate pig
     D MajorD      A augmentedA      D MajorD
Hear 'em roar see 'em fly past the clouds through the sky
           A augmentedA       D MajorD
On that highway that don't have an end
    G+G           D MajorD     B7B7
But you know that's heaven for Tennessee Thompson
  E MajorE      A augmentedA       D MajorD    D MajorD
The world's last truck drivin' man and Doreen
  E MajorE      A augmentedA       D MajorD
The world's last truck drivin' man
