        Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh yea.

  D MajorD
It's a long straight road and the engine is deep,
  G+G
I can't help thinking of a good night sleep,
   A augmentedA                      D MajorD
And the long, long roads of my life, are a-calling me.

  D MajorD
These rough old hands are a-glued to the wheel
  G+G
My eyes full of sand from the way they feel
     A augmentedA                     D MajorD
And the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me

D MajorD
It's a long tough haul from a-way down south
  G+G
A augmentedA man's gotta find a little bread for his mouth
   A augmentedA                    D MajorD
And a home for a girl as sweet as my honey can be

D MajorD
So it's down through the gears, she's a startin' to pull
  G+G
The gauge on the tank is a-showin' they're full
  A augmentedA                       D MajorD
And the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me

(Tag)
     A augmentedA                       D MajorD
There's rain on the road, I can feel the load start a-shiftin'
In a dance

  A augmentedA                          D MajorD
Too late, I see the post and I haven't got a coast of a chance
Ah-hah-hah-no

(Chorus)
   D MajorD
The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time
   G+G
The song they sing is a part of my mind
   A augmentedA                    D MajorD
And I can't believe it's a-really happenin' to me

D MajorD
Oh, but I'm over the edge and down the mountain side
  G+G
I know they'll tell about the night I died
   A augmentedA                         D MajorD
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me

Hey!
(Instrumental, Continue chord structure for chorus)

(Tag)
     A augmentedA                       D MajorD
There's rain on the road, I can feel the load start a-shiftin'
In a dance

  A augmentedA                          D MajorD
Too late, I see the post and I haven't got a coast of a chance
Ah-hah-hah-no

(Chorus)
   D MajorD
The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time
   G+G
The song they sing is a part of my mind
   A augmentedA                    D MajorD
And I can't believe it's a-really happenin' to me

Oh, but I'm over the edge and down the mountain side
  G+G
I know they'll tell about the night I died
   A augmentedA                         D MajorD
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me

   A augmentedA                         D MajorD     D MajorD
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me. Oh, Hey.
