Trucks On The Track Chords by Slim Dusty

[F] _ [Gm] _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] You know?
_ _ _ Said the old working [F] bullock to the draft horse's mate
[Ab] The yoke's changed [Eb] and swing bar's [Bb] gone out of date _
[Gm] Just look [Eb] at the dust clouds [Bb] and smoke trailing back
[Eb] Where once [Bb] we pulled wagons, [F] there's trucks [Bb] on the track
[F] Trucks [Bb] on the track
There's seldom a bush [F] road that's not felt the trail
[Ab]
[Eb] Some big prime mover, they [Bb] leave us for dead _
[Gm] Stiff [Eb] shoulder and foot sore, our [Bb] chains never slack
And [Eb] our ticket [Bb] for freedom, [F] there's trucks [Bb] on the track
_ Those broad smiling faces [F] of the gear pushing men
[Ab] Is the trademark [Eb] of truckies, but [Bb] I recall when
The [Gm] face [Eb] of the teamster turned [Bb] purple and blank
[Eb] With rage [Bb] but he'd welcome [F] these trucks [Bb] on the track
_ The draft horse replied [F] as he shook his [Gm] old mane
[Ab] Those [Eb] days I've no yearning, [Bb] see them again
Old [Gm] whips [Eb] made of green hide that stung [Bb] ribs and back
[Eb] Hang idle [Bb] [F] because there's trucks [Bb] on the track
[F] Trucks [Bb] on the track
_ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
So just let us nibble [F] this young tender [C] grass
[Ab] We're both [Eb] pensioned off, earned as [Bb] silver and brass
[Gm] Away back through [Eb] the ages, a man hunt [Bb] his fecks
[Eb] Now they haul half [Bb] the world, [F] those trucks on [Bb] the track
So spray out the bull dust, [F] the trucks must get [Bb] through
[Ab] There's [Eb] someone out back, mate, [Bb] pending on you
A [Gm] yard of [Eb] prime cattle for a wool clip [Bb] to stick
The [Eb] kings [Bb] of the [F] road, those trucks on [Bb] the track
[F]
