Big Wheels Rolling
View chords used in this chart
C
I left my sweetheart a long time ago
F C
She cried and she pleaded and begged me not to go
We had a quarrel and I started to roam
G7 C
Big wheels big wheels carry me home
Oh big wheels a-rolling carry me back
F C
I know my baby's waiting down by the railroad track
I can see old drivers I hear old whistles moan
G7 C
Big wheels big wheels carry me home
I dreamed of her in Texas Nevada was the same
F C
Oh way up in New Hampshire I even called her name
She said she still loved me when I called her on the phone
G7 C
Big wheels big wheels carry me home
Oh big wheels a-rolling carry me back
F C
I know my baby's waiting down by the railroad track
I can see old drivers I hear old whistles moan
G7 C
Big wheels big wheels carry me home
If I could travel over to England or to Spain
F C
Or way down in the South Seas I know it'd be the same
In Germany or Switzerland or in the town of Rhome
G7 C
I'd think of her and tell the world carry me home
Oh big wheels a-rolling carry me back
F C
I know my baby's waiting down by the railroad track
I can see old drivers I hear old whistles moan
G7 C
Big wheels big wheels carry me home
