Slim Dusty - Lights On The Hill Chords

_ _ _ [Ab] Besides bush ballads and songs about all sorts of people, [B] we've certainly recorded a lot of truck songs over the years.
So [Bb] we'd like to do a [F] truck song for you.
[C] This one I released in _ 1972 as a single and then it was used as the title track for our first [E] truck album.
_ I think you might know it, friends, and it's one that goes something like this. _
_ _ _ _ Ho ho ho ho you, _ _ _ _ ho ho ho ho you
_ _ _ _ _ It's a long straight road and the engine is deep [A] I can't help thinking of a good night's [B] sleep
And the long, long roads of my life are a-callin' [E] _
me
_ _ _ _ These rough old hands are aglew to the [A] wheel My eyes full of sand from the way they [E] feel
And [B] the lights comin' over the hill are a-blindin' [E] _
me
_ _ _ It's a long tough haul from the way down south [A] A man's gotta find a little bread for his mouth
[B] And a home for a girl as sweet as my honey [E] can be
_ _ So _ _ it's down through the gears, she's a-startin' to pull [A] The gauge on the tank is a-showin' me [E] a pull
[B] And the lights comin' over the hill are a [E]-blindin' _ me
_ _ [B] _ _ This rain on the road, I can feel the loads [E] start a-shiftin' in a dance
_ [B] Late I see the post and I haven't got [E] a ghost of a chance _ on em _ _
The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in [A] time The song they sing is a part of my [B] mind
And I can't believe it's really [E] happenin' to _ me
_ _ Oh, but over the edge and down the mountainside [A] I know they'll tell about the [E] night I died
[B] And the rain when the lights on the hill were a [E]-blindin' _ me
Hey, _ _ big fiddle, give a big hand, hey, ho [A] ho _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ ho ho you
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ This rain on the road, I can feel the loads [E] start a-shiftin' in a dance
_ [B] Late I see the post and I haven't got a ghost [E] of a chance on em
The windscreen wipers are a-beatin' in [A] time The song they sing is a part of my [B] mind
And I can't believe it's really _ [E] happenin' to _ [B] me
_ _ Oh, but over the [F] edge and down the [Bm] mountainside [A] I know they'll tell about the [E] night I [B] died
And the rain when the lights on the hill were a [E]-blindin' me
Hey, _ _ _ [B] the rain when the lights on the hill were a [E]-blindin' me
_ _ _ Oh, hey _
_ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
