I'm Moving On

Intro

[Verso 1]
 
     C 
That big eight-wheeler rollin' down the track 
           C                       C7 
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back 
           C7     F                  C 
'cause I'm movin' on... I'll soon be gone 
         G7                                                   C 
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky, so I'm movin' on 
 


[Verso 2]
 
     C 
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew 
        C                          C7 
Said hello to the Southland, we're comin' to you 
           C7     F                 C 
When we're movin' on... oh, hear my song 
            G7                                                  C 
You had the laugh on me and so I've set you free and I'm movin' on

       C 
Mister Fireman, won't you please listen to me? 
         C                    C7 
'cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee 
     C7        F                  C 
Keep movin' me on... keep rollin' on 
   G7                                                        C 
So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll and keep movin' me on 
 


[Verso 4]
 
       C 
Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand 
     C                            C7 
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land 
        C7        F                  C 
To keep movin' me on... keep rollin' on 
             G7                                                  C 
You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time and keep rollin' on

[Verso 5]
 
     C 
I've told you, baby, from time to time 
        C                       C7 
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind 
        C7     F                 C 
Now I'm movin' on... I'm rollin' on 
       G7                                                   C 
You've broken your vow and it's all over now, so I'm movin' on 
 


[Verso 6]
 
       C 
You've switched your engine, now I ain't got time 
      C                 C7 
For a triflin' woman on my main line 
           C7     F                         C 
'cause I'm movin' on... you done your daddy wrong 
     G7                                                               C 
I've warned you twice, now you can settle the price 'cause I'm movin' on 
 


[Verso 7]
 
    C 
But someday, baby, when you've had your play 
             C                         C7 
You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say 
     C7     F                         C 
Keep movin' on... you stayed away too long 
    G7                                                 C 
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue, keep movin' on
