[Verse]
G C
The cab is in shambles, the bearings are shot.

The tyres are more than well worn:

The trailers are buckled, the skid plates are bent,
G D G
All the tarps are discoloured and torn.
[Verse]
Em D
The are no dogs and chains, just a bag of old ropes.
G
All knotted, too short and too frayed.
Em C D
And it looks like the outfit has never been washed,

Since the day when the gear was first made.

[Verse]
G C
There are four broken side lights, a broken tool-box
G G/B D
The mud flaps are gone from the rear.
G C
The floor boards are missing, the “U” bolts are loose
G D G
Not at all what you'd call first class gear.
[Verse]
Em D
From the mud and the dust, inches deep on the wheels,
G
I can see hard work written thereon;
Em C D
One look underneath at that oil-splattered sump,
N.C. C D G
And I know every oil seal has gone.

[Verse]
G C
How many hundreds of tons has it hauled,
G G/B D
And how many roads does it know?
G C
This old rig one time was some truck jockey’s joy,
G D G
Ah, but that was a long time ago.
[Verse]
Em D
Yes, it lies here a wreck and they rob it for spares
G
T'would soon be devoured by rust;
Em C D
Or some bulldozer driver will bury it deep
N.C. C D G
In its shroud of mud, grease and bulldust.
[Verse]
G C
The cab is in shambles, the bearings are shot.
G G/B D
The tyres are more than well worn:
G C
The trailers are buckled, the skid plates are bent,
G D G
All the tarps are discoloured and torn.
