Lights on the Hill --- Slim Dusty Chords

Happiest sad song I've ever recorded.
It's the first successful truck song in Australia
and it's my favorite one of yours too I think.
Lights on the Hill.
[F] And besides bush ballads and
songs about all sorts of people we've certainly recorded a lot of truck songs over the years.
[N] So we'd like to do a truck song for you.
This one I released in 1972 as a single and then it was used
as the title track for our first [E] truck album. _
I think you might know it Friends and it's one
that goes something like this. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

It's a long path pulled from the way down south.
[A] A man's gotta find a little bread for his [B] mouth and a home for a girl as sweet as my honey [E] can be. _ _ _ _ _
So it's down through the gears she's a-startin' to pull.
[A] The gauge on the tank is a-showin' me a pull.
[B] And the lights comin' over the hill [G#m] are a-blindin' [E] me. _ _ _ _ _
[B] There's rain on the road and I can feel the load [E] start a-shiftin' in a dance.
[B] Too late I see the post and I haven't got a [E] ghost of a chance on a-move.
The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time.
[A] The song they sing is a part of my mind [B] and I can't believe it's really _ [E] happenin' to me.

[B] _ _ _ Oh, [E] but up over the edge and down the _ [B] mountainside, [A] I know they'll tell about the night [Em] I died.
[B] In the rain with the lights on the hill were a [E]-blindin' me.
Hey! _ _ _
[B] In the rain with the lights on [F#m] the hill were [B] a-blindin' [E] me.
