Intro
[Verse]
D MajorD D/C# D/B Dadd4/A
Mr. DJ won't you please play me a song
G+G
Play it for an old boy who's a long, long way from home
F# minorF#m E minorEm
With a 1000 miles ahead and a thousand miles behind
G+G A augmentedA
A majorA dollar in his pocket and a woman on his mind
D MajorD D/C# D/B Dadd4/A
You can pick out almost anything you choose.
G+G
Play Sweet Home Alabama or let Waylon sing the blues
F# minorF#m E minorEm
I don't care what kind of music just as long as it sounds tough
G+G A augmentedA
But don't play any hurting songs 'cause I feel bad enough
[Chorus]
G+G A augmentedA
Now don't get the wrong impression, I ain't meaning to complain
F# minorF#m B minorBm
But it would be Sunday morning and I guess it had to rain
G+G G/F# E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD D7D7
I was doing pretty good 'til I heard that darn old train going thru, who knows where
G+G
And I guess the combination's got me feeling kind a low
F# minorF#m
And all I got to cheer me up is this all night radio
G+G G/F# E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD
Why don't you play us something hot and let this 18 wheeler roll my blues away
[Verse 2]
D MajorD D/C# D/B Dadd4/A
Well I called her from a phone booth in St. Paul
G+G
When I asked her if she loves me, I got no reply at all
F# minorF#m E minorEm
And if that's the way she wants it, that's the way it's gonna be
G+G A augmentedA
It might hurt a little while, but that's alright with me
D MajorD D/C# D/B Dadd4/A
I been 10 years wondering what went wrong
G+G
And then I turned on my radio and I heard a country song
F# minorF#m E minorEm
And it kinda keeps me moving just to roll on down the line
G+G A augmentedA
But when you played that hurting song I almost started crying
[Chorus 2]
G+G A augmentedA
Willie drowned in Whiskey River with Hank Jr's. rowdy friends
F# minorF#m B minorBm
Those rich boys sang Elvira, Ricky played the mandolin
G+G G/F# E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD D7D7
Them old boys from Alabama put the pedal to the metal and let her roll, roll along
G+G
Then I started feeling bad when George stopped loving her today
F# minorF#m E minorEm
Why don't you let old Micky Gilley get down on them 88's
G+G G/F# E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD
Come on and play us something hot and let this 18 wheeler roll my blues away
