Truckin' (2013 Remaster) chords
Start Jamming...
[E]
I'm going to sing a song called Keep Truckin'.
Keep truckin', got my chips cashed in.
[A] Keep truckin', like the two dumb men [B] together.
More or less in [A] line, just keep truckin' from [E] home.
Arrows of neon are flashing like keys out on Main Street.
Chicago, New York, Peachwood, and it's all on the same street.
The typical city involved in a typical daydream.
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.
Dallas, got a soft machine.
[A] Houston, close to New Orleans.
[B] New York, got the ways and [E] means.
[A] Just one that you need.
[E]
Most of the cats that you meet on the streets make a true love.
Most of the time they shouldn't even be crying at home.
[Em] [E] One of these days, they know they gotta get going.
Out of the door and down to the street all alone.
Truckin' like the two dumb [A] men once told me you got to play your [A#] hand.
[B] Sometimes the cards ain't worth a [A] dime if you don't lay your plan.
[E]
[G#]
[A] Sometimes the light's all shining on [G] me.
[F#] [A]
Other times [D] I can [A] barely [G] see.
[F#] [A] [D] Lately [B] it occurs [F#] to me [B]
[F#] [A] what a long stature [E] fits me.
What in the world ever became the fleeting?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same.
Living on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine.
All a friend can say is ain't it a shame.
Truckin', up the club for a [F#m] moment [A] thinkin' you got to mellow slow.
[B] Takes time to pick a place to [A] go, just keep truckin'.
[E]
Sitting and staring out of the hotel window.
Gotta get there, gonna kick the door in again.
I like to get some sleep before I travel.
But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in.
Busted down on Bourbon Street.
[A] Set up like a polling pin.
[B] Knocked down, it gets to where it [A] ends.
It just won't let you [E] be.
[C#m] When you're sick of hanging around, [E] you like to travel.
Get tired of traveling, you want to settle down.
I guess I can't refocus on trying.
Get out of the car, lie down, look all [F] around.
[G] [G#]
[A] Sometimes the light's all shining on [G]
me.
[F#m] [A] Other times I can [Bm] [A] barely see.
[Em] [F#]
[A] [D] [Bm] Maybe it occurs [F#] to [B] me.
[F#]
[A] What a long spaceship [E] it's been.
Truckin', I'm going home.
[A] Whoa, baby, that's where I belong.
[B] Back home, sit down and patch my [A] bones.
Get that truckin' on [E] home.
[Em]
[A] [E]
