                Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh yea.

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


   D
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

D
It's a long tough haul from a-way down south
   G
A 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' they're full
    A                                              D
And the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' me

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

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

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

D
Oh, but I'm 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

Hey!
(Instrumental, Continue chord structure for chorus)

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

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

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

D
Oh, but I'm 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         D
In the rain when the lights on the hill were a-blindin' me.  Oh, Hey.
