The Truck Song

[Intro ]
G 


[Verso 1]
 
G                      D/F# 
   The dashboard cracked, 
                       Cadd9 
From twenty years of sunlight, 
         G              D 
Even the good thing can wear you down. 
G 
   More paint peeling off, 
D/F#                   Cadd9 
   With every trip to town, 
                     G      D 
But this thing gets around, 
Cadd9                                G                 D 
   That I may be cussing 'cause that engine light came on, 
Cadd9                           G            D 
   But this old shy eight ain't ever done me wrong, 
 


[Refrão]
 
G                             D/F# 
   So light it up and hit the gas, 
                       Am 
We ain't going nowhere fast, 
                             G/B 
This thing won't break sixty, 
    Cadd9         D 
But girl, you can ride with me... 

Instrumental 
G    D/F#     Am     G/B Cadd9    D 


[Verso 2]
 
G               D/F# 
   It got me to school, 
                  Cadd9 
And it got me to work, 
               G      D 
It even got me girls. 
G 
   The clutch might stick, 
D/F#                           Cadd9 
   And the wheels got too much play, 
                        G    D 
Yeah, it's seen better days... 
Cadd9                            G                   D 
   But man, I'm telling you it's something with this bench seat, 
Cadd9                        G                D 
   'Cause them girls like to slide across and kiss me 
 


[Refrão]
 
G                             D/F# 
   So light it up and hit the gas, 
                       Am 
We ain't going nowhere fast, 
                             G/B 
This thing won't break sixty, 
    Cadd9         D 
But girl, you can ride with me 
G                               D/F# 
   We'll burn the rubber on the blacktop 
                        Am                              G/B  Cadd9              G 
Like a sixteen year old trying to show his girl that he's    pissed off at the world... 

Instrumental 
G    D/F#     Am     G/B Cadd9    D 
 


[Ponte]
 
G                     D/F# 
   To you it's just a truck, 
                   Am                            Cadd9           D 
To me it's all the memories I can squeeze into a 1500 short bed, 
 


[Refrão]
 
G                             D/F# 
   So light it up and hit the gas, 
                       Am 
We ain't going nowhere fast, 
                             G/B 
This thing won't break sixty, 
    Cadd9         D 
But girl, you can ride with me 
G                               D/F# 
   We'll burn the rubber on the blacktop 
                        Am                              G/B  Cadd9              G 
Like a sixteen year old trying to show his girl that he's    pissed off at the world... 

Instrumental 
G    D/F#     Am     G/B Cadd9    D 
 

Outro 
G                  D/F# 
   The dashboard's cracked, 
                       Cadd9 
From twenty years of sunlight...
