Chords for Slim Dusty - Lights On The Hill (1998 Remaster)

_ Besides bush ballads and songs about all sorts of people, we've certainly recorded a lot of truck songs over the [A#] years.
[D#] So we'd like to do a truck song for you.
This one I released in _ 1972 as a single [G] 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. _ _ _
_ _ Ho ho ho ho yeh
_ _ Ho ho ho ho yeh
_ _ _ _ It's a long straight road and the engine is deep
[A] I can't help thinking of a good night's sleep
[B] And the long long roads of my life are a [E]-callin' me
_ _ _ _ These rough old hands are aglew to the wheel
[A] My eyes full of sand from the way they [B] feel
And the lights comin' over the hill [C#] are a [E]-blindin' _ _ me
_ [C#] _ [E] It's a long tough haul from the way down south
[A] A man's gotta find a little bread for his mouth
[B] And a home for a girl as sweet [C#] as my honey [E] can be _
_ _ _ _ So it's down to the gears she's a-startin' to pull
[A] The gauge on the tank is a-showin' me a fool
[B] And the lights comin' over the hill [G#m] are a [E]-blindin' _ [B]
me
_ _ _ It's rainin' on the road and I can feel the loads [E] that have shifted _
In a dance
[B] Too late I see the post and I haven't [E] got a coast
Well it's your hands all hung _ up
The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time
[A] The song they sing is a part of my [B] mind
And I can't believe it's a-really _ [E] happenin' to me _
_ _ _ _ Oh, but over the edge and down the mountainside
I know they'll tell about the night I [B] laid in the rain
When the lights on the hill [C#] were a [E]-blindin' _ me
Hey!
_ _ Big fiddle, give him a big hand!
Hey!
Ho!
Ho!
[A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ Ho!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ [B] It's rainin' on the road and I can [C#] feel the loads [E] that have shifted _
In a dance
[B] Too late I see the post and I haven't got a coast
[E] Well it's your hands all hung up
The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in time
[A] The song they sing is a part of my [B] mind
And I can't believe it's a-really [C#] _ [E] happenin' to me
[B] _
_ _ _ Oh, [E] but over the edge and down the [F#] mountainside
[A] I know they'll tell about the night [Em] I died [B] in the rain
When the lights on the hill were [E] a-blindin' me
Hey!
_ _ _ [B] In the rain when the lights on the hill were a [E]-blindin' _ me
_ _ Ah, hey!
_ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
