diesel on my tail Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I just pulled on to [D]the highway
in my little foreign car
Well, it's raining,
and [A]the road is really [D]bad
Never saw that big old diesel,
but I heard him hit the air
I've got a feeling that I [A]might
have made him [D]mad

[Verse 2]
He closed the gap [D]between us,
pushed the pedal on the floor
He's makin' 90 in that [A]big old diesel [D]truck
I can hear the names he's calling
me above the engine's roar
And the words won't [A]be found
in Webster's [D]book
There's a [G]diesel on my

[Verse 3]
[G]tail,
a- making 90 miles an hour
My [D]reflection in my mirror is mighty [A]pale
I can hear [D]Saint Peter calling,
I can [G]al most smell [D]the flowers
Can this compact take the impact?
There's a [A]diesel on my [D]tail
[A][D]

[Verse 4]
Well, I'm huffin' and puffin',
as I try to make the grade
And I wish I had some [A]pedals on this [D]car
Then I'm slippin' and a- slidin'
and afraid to touch the brake
For this doodlebug could
[A]never stand the [D]jar

[Verse 5]
There's a [G]diesel on my tail,
a- making 90 miles an hour
My reflec[D]tion in my mirror is mighty [A]pale
I can [D]hear Saint Peter calling,
I can al[G]most smell the [D]flowers
Can this compact take the impact?
There's a [A]diesel on my [D]tail
[A][D]

[Verse 6]
Well, I'm slippin' and a- slidin'
trying to hold it in the road
And I'll tell you, I just [A]got
to win this [D]race
While I'm tremblin' and a- shakin',
he's a- pouring on the coal
So close that I can [A]steal
his license [D]plate
There's a [G]diesel on my

[Verse 7]
[G]tail,
a- making 90 miles an hour
My reflec[D]tion in my mirror is mighty [A]pale
I can [D]hear Saint Peter calling,
I can [G]al most smell [D]the flowers
Can this compact take the impact?
There's a [A]diesel on my [D]tail
Can this compact take the impact?
There's a [A]diesel on my [D]tail
