Verse:
G+G                                 C majorC
I drive a snow plough – Cumberland County
   G+G                                      D MajorD
Covered up with flashing lights and chains.
G+G                                        C majorC
I’ve got a contract with the Cumberland Township
        G+G             D MajorD         G+G
To keep their county roads clean.
G+G                                      C majorC
I was born and raised up – Cumberland County.
G+G                                    D MajorD
All my good friends – they live there.
G+G                                          C majorC
They flash their porch lights when I go by.
G+G            D MajorD           G+G
Lately I just don’t care.


Chorus:
                        C majorC
And there’s a curve out on the old town line.
    G+G
It always drifts in exactly the same.
          D MajorD
I can take it out with just one sweep –
G+G
My plough turned a particular way,
            C majorC
And it never stops snowin’ in Cumberland County
      G+G                        E minorEm
So my work don’t ever get done,
       G+G
But lately I,ve been thinkin’ of drivin’ this snow plough
     D MajorD                G+G
Straight into the sun.

Verse:
G+G                                     C majorC
Raised me some kids up – Cumberland County,
      G+G                         D MajorD
But I don’t see ‘em much anymore.
G+G                                         C majorC
She said she was tired of the same old stories –
  G+G                                 D MajorD
Tired of the sparks against the snow.


Chorus:

And there’s a curve out on the old town line.

G+G
My plough turned a particular way,
            C majorC
And it never stops snowin’ in Cumberland County
      G+G                       E minorEm

And you can be anything that you wanna be –

Now I’m just another snow-blind fool.
            C majorC
And it never stops snowin’ in Cumberland County
                              E minorEm
So my work don’t ever get done,
