Chords with lyrics

Intro:
D MajorD  E7E7


Verse 1:
   D MajorD                      E minor 7Em7
She's looking out the window dreaming on fading lights
                               D MajorD
Her man is on the job again a long one this time for seven nights
                                 E minor 7Em7
He's loaded up and ready, kicked his tyres and wheeled off to the west
               D MajorD
And she's already feeling, lonely


Chorus:
                           E minor 7Em7
And the pain runs down her cheek and on her dressing gown
                                   D MajorD
She gives all the love she can, she doesn't plan to slow her truckie down
                                  E minor 7Em7
And she battles with her babies and lately been thinking about her life
                             D MajorD
Is there anything in store is there more for a truckies wife?

Instrumental:
E minor 7Em7   D MajorD


Verse 2:
                                    E minor 7Em7
And its raining down in Willow-tree you wouldn't hear a diesel truck tonight
                                 D MajorD
Full of murra and di tucker and a cuppa and starting to feel alright
                              E minor 7Em7
While she sleeps off another day of her underpaid full time job
                             D MajorD
Schooling and feeding and dressing and loving her little mob

Verse 3:
                                  E minor 7Em7
And the motors running hot at his feet and he's thinking about his boys
                             D MajorD
He's more like an uncle, comes home with ice creams and toys
                             E minor 7Em7
But at least he's got a job and it seems like he's in control
                    D MajorD     E minor 7Em7     D MajorD
But he'd rather be at home, with his woman


Chorus:
                           E minor 7Em7
And the pain runs down her cheek and on her dressing gown
                                  D MajorD
She gives all the love she can she doesn't plan to slow her truckie down
                                  E minor 7Em7
And she battles with her babies and lately been thinking about her life
                              D MajorD   E minor 7Em7     D MajorD
Is there anything in store, is there more for a truckies wife?
     E minor 7Em7
Is there anything in store, is there more for a truckies wife?
