[G] [D] [G] [D] [G]
[Em] [D] Well I rubbed [G] the bed all down
[D] And I washed [G] away six aching [D] days
And my shoes [G] all slick and sped
[D] And my singlet [G] fresh
And my [A] sideburns shade that turn
[G] From the mirror
[A] And I opened [G] my first vision [D] yesterday
And it brings [G] the bed to ground
[D] A three [G]-ton girl on a black [E] soft bed
[D] And she knows [G] the way to [D] town
So we kiss [G] goodbye to two [A] weeks late
Now the leaves [G] are shaking
[A] And the stars are [G] all waking
[A] From [D] their day
[G] Big [D] wheel turning, burning all night
[G] Big [D] black bird, burning so bright
[G] Well [D] I would, but that's [G] alright
It's only 40 miles [D] to Saturday night
There's a place on [G] Maynard Street
[D] And a band [G] down back called [Em] Thunderdome
[D] And Joanne [G] from Miners Creek
[D] She said [G] that she'd be back [Em] again
[A] She lives out [G] on the station
[A] And she works on my imagination
[D] [G] Big [D] wheel turning, burning all night
[G] Big [D] black bird, burning so bright
[G] Well [D] I would, but that's alright
[G] It's only 40 miles [A] to [D] Saturday night
Big [G]
[D] [Bm] [Bm] [E] [D] [G]
[D] [G] [E] [A] [G] [A]
[G] [A] [D] [G]
[D] wheel turning, burning all [G] night
[D] Big black bird, burning so [G] bright
[D] Well I would, but that's alright
[G] It's only 40 miles [A] to [D] Saturday night
[G] Big [D] wheel turning, burning all night
[G]
[D] Big black bird, burning so bright
[G] Well [D] I would, but that's [G] alright
It's only 40 miles [A] to [D] Saturday night
