Road Train Blues Chords - Slim Dusty

Verse 1

C Am C Am Another day is dawning out on the lonely plains, C Am G G Here am I a'drovin' on the big beef train. C Am C Am Drivers there before me, some behind me, too, C Am G G7 C C Just like me I know they've got the road train blues.

Chorus

C C C C You drive all night and listen to the engine groan, F F F F With lots of time to think about the folks back home, C Am C Am I've always been a wanderer, had these ramblin' shoes, C Am G G7 C C Guess that I was born to know the road train blues.

Verse 2

C Am C Am I’d better stop and get out, a careful check to make, C Am G G I hope there's nothing going or about to break. C Am C Am No time to boil a billie, got no time to lose, C Am G G7 C C Gotta keep a rollin' with my road train blues.

Chorus

Verse 3

C Am C Am I'll bet in every wagon, there's a beast that's down, C Am G G You've got to get him on his feet and turned around. C Am C Am You sweat and curse and struggle, get knocked about and bruised, C Am G G7 C C Your temper's getting shorter with the road train blues.

Chorus

Verse 4

C Am C Am Your eyes are nearly blinded by the red bulldust, C Am G G I hope there's nothing going or about to bust. C Am C Am Tourist buses passing, on a pleasure cruise, C Am G G7 C C They wave and seem to mock your rollin' road train blues.

Chorus
