Original: capo on 7


Verse 1:

    A augmentedA
There's ice and snow on the northern roads
    E MajorE
And the Jersey Pike is closed
D MajorD           E MajorE    A augmentedA
Have to go and do some drivin' tonight
   A augmentedA              E MajorE
They say I'd be a fool if I would ride those icy roads
   D MajorD         E MajorE      A augmentedA
But a little storm ain't stoppin' me tonight

Chorus:

     D MajorD
I'm gonna wear out the turnpike
A augmentedA
Rack up those miles
E MajorE              D MajorD      A augmentedA
Keep this rig a rollin', I'm in it every mile
    D MajorD
'Cause she's in Oklahoma and
A augmentedA
I'm up in Maine
  E MajorE       D MajorD            A augmentedA
So diesel sing a song that will bring me home
        E MajorE
Doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
D MajorD       A augmentedA
Doodle doo doo doo


Verse 2:

     A augmentedA
There's a red light turnin' behind me
     E MajorE
There's a trooper on my tail
   D MajorD          E MajorE        A augmentedA
I can tell I won't get to New York town on time
   A augmentedA
If he decides to pull me over
     E MajorE
And if he get's me on the scale
     D MajorD       E MajorE       A augmentedA
I'm gonna have to tell a tale or take a fine

Chorus:

     D MajorD
I'm gonna wear out the turnpike
A augmentedA
Rack up those miles
E MajorE              D MajorD      A augmentedA
Keep this rig a rollin', I'm in it every mile
    D MajorD
'Cause she's in Oklahoma and
A augmentedA
I'm up in Maine
  E MajorE       D MajorD            A augmentedA
So diesel sing a song that will bring me home
        E MajorE
Doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
D MajorD       A augmentedA
Doodle doo doo doo


Verse 3:

     A augmentedA
With the snow against my windshield
    E MajorE
I will run on through the night
      D MajorD      E MajorE       A augmentedA
There's not stoppin' me once I hit the road
     A augmentedA
Cause the turnpike's like my second home
   E MajorE
And I know it like my hand
  D MajorD       E MajorE           A augmentedA
So diesel sing a song that'll bring me home


Chorus:

     D MajorD
I'm gonna wear out the turnpike
A augmentedA
Rack up those miles
E MajorE              D MajorD      A augmentedA
Keep this rig a rollin', I'm in it every mile
    D MajorD
'Cause she's in Oklahoma and
A augmentedA
I'm up in Maine
  E MajorE       D MajorD            A augmentedA
So diesel sing a song that will bring me home
        E MajorE
Doodle doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
D MajorD       A augmentedA
