Truckin' Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D]
[D][D][D][D]

[Chorus 1]
[D]Truckin', got my chips cashed in
Keep [G]truckin', like the do-dah man
To[A]gether, more or less in line
[G]Just keep truckin' on

[Interlude 1]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out
on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit
and it's all on the same street
Your [D]typical city involved
in a typical daydream

[Chorus 2]
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings
[D]Dallas, machine got a soft machine
[G]Houston, too close to New Orleans
[A]New York got the ways and means
But [G]just won't let you be

[Interlude 2]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Most of the cats that you meet on the street
speak of true love
Most of the time,
they're sittin' and cryin' at home
[D]One of these days they know
they gotta get goin'
Out of the door

[Chorus 3]
and down to the street all alone
[D]Truckin', like the do-dah man
[G]Once told me, "You've got to play your hand"
[A]Sometimes the cards ain't worth a dime
[G]If you don't lay 'em down

[Interlude 3]
[D][D][D][D]

[Bridge 1]
[G]Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me
[F][C][G]
Other times, I can [C]barely [G]see[F][C][G]
[C]Lately, it oc[Am]curs to [E]me
What a [G]long, strange trip it's been

[Interlude 4]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]What in the world ever became
of sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle,
you know she isn't the same
[D]Livin' on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine

[Chorus 4]
All a friend can say is, "Ain't it a shame?"
[D]Truckin', up to Buffalo
Been [G]thinkin', you got to mellow slow
It [A]takes time, you pick a place to go
And [G]just keep truckin' on

[Interlude 5]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Sittin' and starin' out of the hotel window
Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again
I'd [D]like to get some sleep before I travel
But if you got a warrant,

[Chorus 5]
I guess you're gonna come in
[D]Busted, down on Bourbon Street
[G]Set up, like a bowlin' pin
[A]Knocked down, it gets to wearin' thin
They [G]just won't let you be

[Interlude 6]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 5]
[D]You're sick of hangin' around
and you'd like to travel
Get tired of travelin', you want to settle down
I [D]guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin'
Get out of the door and light out

[Bridge 2]
and look all around
[G]Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me
[F][C][G]
Other times, I can [C]barely [G]see[F][C][G]
[C]Lately, it oc[Am]curs to [E]me
What a [G]long, strange trip it's been

[Interlude 7]
[D][D][D][D]

[Chorus 6]
[D]Truckin', I'm a goin' home
[G]Whoa, whoa, baby, back where I belong
[A]Back home, sit down and patch my bones
And [G]get back truckin' on

[Outro 1]
[D][D][D][D]
[Repeat and fade]
