Widowmaker, [G]
Widowmaker,
[D] were the words so bright and big,
Painted [E] cross the bumper [Am] of a shiny [D] rig?
Billy Mike kissed Wanda [A] and then climbed [D] into his rig,
Said he'd be back a Tuesday [A] night, so plan on [D] something big.
[G] That big red [D] diesel roared to [G] life and Bill was heavy [D] bound,
The wheels were humming Wanda and [A] as he rode [D] out of town,
[G] Twenty hundred [D]
RPMs [G] were showing [D] on the tack,
But no one knew this was the last [A] long ride [D] for Billy Mike.
[G] Widowmaker, Widowmaker, [D] only Bill could understand,
Was going to make a widow out of pretty Wanda Ann.
[A] [D]
Just a few more miles and [A] Bill was on that [D] mountain range,
Word did a hair, a pickup [A] full of kids blocked [D] both the lanes.
[G] Bill hit the air [D]
and then he fell, [G] his trailer [D] sliding sway,
And the pickup driver made no [A] move to help him [D] clear the way.
[G] He just had [D] time to think of Wanda [G] as he [D] fought the will,
Then Billy Mike was buried [A] under twenty [D] tons of steel.
[G] One life for ten [D] has always been [G] a diesel [D] driver's coal.
That's why Billy slung that widowmaker
[A] off the road.
[D] [N]
