Verse 1:
B     G       D
Well, it's a long straight road and the engine is deep
  G
I can't help thinkin' of a good night's sleep
        A                                         D
And the long, long roads of my life are a-callin' me
            D
Yeah, these rough old hands are a-glued to the wheel
   G
My eyes full of sand from the way they feel
        A                                           D
And the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me

Verse 2:
G       D
It's a long tough haul from a-way down south
  G
G  man's gotta find a little bread for his mouth
      A                                         D
And a home for a girl as sweet as my honey can be
        D
So it's down through the gears, she's a-startin' to pull
    G
The gauge on the tank is a-showin' near full
        A                                           D
And the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me


Pre-Chorus:
              A                                                 D
Well, there's rain on the road and I can feel the load start a-shiftin' in a dance
    A                                                     D
Too late, I see the posts and I haven't got a ghost of a chance Oh-hah-hah-no


Chorus:
    D
The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time
    G
The song they're singin' is a part of my mind
      A                                          D
And I can't believe this is really happenin' to me
        D
So it's over the edge and down the mountain side
  G
I know they'll tell about the night I died
       A                                                 D
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me.

              A                                            D
Well, there's rain on the road, I can feel the load start shiftin' in a dance
    A                                                  D                     A#

In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me.
