Chords for the New Riders Of The Purple Sage ~ Diesel On My Tail

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I just pulled out on the highway
In my little four-wheel car
It was raining [A] and the road [D] was mighty bad _
I didn't see that big old diesel
But I heard him hit the air
I have a feeling [A] that I might have [D] made him mad _
He closed the gap between us
Pushed his pedal to the floor
Making 90 [A] in that big old [D] diesel truck _
I can hear the names he's calling me
Above the engines roar
And the words [A] won't be found [D] in Whittaker's book _
There's [G] a diesel on my tail
Making 90 miles an hour
[D] My reflection in my mirror is [A] mighty bad _
[D] I can hear St.
Peter calling
[G] I can almost [D] smell the plows
Can this compact take the impact?
[A] There's a diesel [D] on my tail
_ _ _ _ I'm huffing and a puffing
And trying to make the grade
And I wish I [A] had some pedals [D] on this car
_ And I'm slipping and I'm sliding
And I'm afraid to touch the brakes
For this doodle bug couldn't ever stand a job
_ [G] There's a diesel on my tail
Making 90 miles an hour
[D] My reflection in my mirror is [A] mighty bad
_ [D] I can hear St.
Peter calling
[G] I can almost [D] smell the plows
Can this compact take the impact?
[A] There's a diesel [D] on my tail _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Well I'm slipping and I'm sliding
Trying to hold it in the road
And I can [A] tell you I just got to [D] win this race
_ While I'm trembling and I'm shaking
Knees blowing on the horn
I'm so close that I [A] could steal a [D] license plate
_ [G] There's a diesel on my tail
Making 90 miles an hour
[D] My reflection in my mirror is [A] mighty bad
_ [D] I can hear St.
Peter calling
[G] I can almost [D] smell the plows
Can this compact take the impact?
[A] There's a diesel [D] on my tail _
Can this compact take the impact?
[A] There's a diesel on [D] my tail
_ Can this compact take the [A] impact?
There's a diesel on [D] my tail _ _ _ _ _
