George Hamilton IV /  Long Thin Dawn chords
Start Jamming...
[G]
I've seen the hills of Frisco, [C] the streets of [G] Montreal,
Every town I've been [A] to I've had someone [D] to call.
[G] Went to Peg to [C] Edmonton, Vancouver [G] to St.
Paul,
I've had so many good [C] friends I could not [D] miss them all.
[C] In that long [G] thin dawn, [Dm] that
[C] long [G] thin dawn,
I'm coming on again.
Last night I came to Calgary [C] beneath the [G] snow-capped ridge,
Thought about my darling [A] as I stood beneath [D] the bridge.
[G] There were times I've made her [C] cry, but I guess for now [G] she's learned,
Anytime I've wondered [C] I'll always [D] have returned.
[G] In that [C]
[G] long thin dawn, [C] that long [G] thin dawn,
I'm coming on again.
Right now I'm on a [C] highway just east of [G] Omaha,
Riding shotgun on the [A] biggest rig you [D] ever saw,
[G] Forty tons of pig [C] iron in a trucker [G] known as Bill.
All the way to [C] Windsor we've got some miles [D] to kill.
[C] In that long [Gm] thin dawn, [G] that [C]
long [G] thin dawn,
I'm coming on again.
While climbing up a hillside [C] Bill drops her down [G] a gear,
And the engine sings so sweetly [A] to his music to [D] my ear,
[G] Tell him that I'd love to [C] be just like him [G] if I can.
Driving like a restless wind [C] across [D] this precious land.
[C] In that long [G] thin dawn, [C] that long [G] thin dawn,
I'm coming on again.
Says Bill the air is clean at night [C] as he puffs a big [G] cigar,
And if this rig keeps rolling [A] my boy will [D] travel far,
[G] When you are a [C] trucker you'll come [G] to realize,
The only thing a man [C] can do is watch the world [D] roll by.
In [C] that
[D] long [G] thin dawn, that [C]
long [G] thin dawn,
I'm coming on again.
