[E]
[Em] [D] Charlie was a driver and he hardly spent [Am] a night [E] at home.
[D] He never saw his family trucking [Am] loads, no slugging on [E] the road.
And [G] Charlie would drive, and [E] Charlie would drive,
for [G] miles and miles, for [E] miles and miles, [C] all
[E] alone.
[D] Charlie had a teenage daughter he [Am] thought of as a little [E] girl.
But [D] one day he came home and the little girl had [Am] grown up into [Em] a [E] little [Em] girl.
[G] She cried, oh [E] Daddy she cried, oh [G] Daddy I cried, oh [E] Daddy I cried.
But on the hayride how I fell, that [C] was a hayride down [E] for hell.
Now [D] Billy Jackson was father, but he [Am] was a man not [E] too old.
[D] And his daddy was the mayor who told [Am] Charlie, well don't leave my [E] Billy boy alone.
Billy [G] had a new heart, [E] a new heart, a new [G] guilty desire, a [E] guilty desire.
[C] Hey you can't hide from [E] yourself, that's just a hayride down for hell.

[D] Charlie saw the knife whilst giving birth to Billy [Am] [Em] Jackson's child.
[D] And Billy Jackson ain't been seen around these parts [Am] for quite [Em] a while.
And [G] Charlie would drive, and [E] Charlie would drive, for [G] miles and [E]
miles, for miles and miles.
And his [B] hayride [Em] said [E] farewell, just like a [A] hayride down [E] for.
[C] And his [A] hayride said [E]
farewell, [C] he's a hayride [G] down for [E] hell.
[B] Down for hell.
[E] Down for hell.
