7 Six Days On the Road (Dave Dudley) [B] Notes: capo 4 (B) for Ira G D7 G Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh rollin' down the Eastern Seaboard G D7 I've got my diesel wound up and she's running like never before. C D7 G C There's a speed zone ahead, all right, but, I don't see a cop in sight G D7 G Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight I got ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are open wide I just passed a 'Gimmy' and a 'White', I've been passin' everything in sight Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight Well, it seems like a month since I kissed my baby good-bye I could have a lot of women but not like some other guys I could find one to hold me tight, but I could never believe that it's right Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight BREAK: verse chords Well, the I.C.C. is checking on down the line I'm a little overweight and my log's three days behind But nothing bothers me tonight, I can dodge all the scales all right Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight BREAK: verse chords Well, my rig's a little old, but that don't mean she's slow There's a flame from her stack and the smoke's rolling black as coal My hometown's coming in sight, if you think I'm happy your right Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight Outro: G D7 G Six days on the road and I'm gonna see my baby tonight 7

9 D Then there was an old man, kind and wise with age A G D And he read me just like a book and he never missed a page G D G D And I loved him like my father, and I loved him like my friend A And I knew his time would shortly come G D but I did not know just when [REPEAT CHORUS] A G D Outro: Oh, Lord grant me vision, Oh, Lord grant me speed 9

10 Fisherman s Blues (The Waterboys) [B] Intro: G F Am C G F I wish I was a fisherman, tumbling on the seas Am C Far away from dry land, and it's bitter memories G F Casting you my sweet light with abandonment and love Am C No ceiling staring down on me, save the starry sky above Chorus: G F Am C With light in my hair, you in my arms, woh-oh-oh ohhhh BREAK: G-F-Am-C I wish I was the brake man, on a Hartland diesel train Crashing headlong into the heartland, like a cannon in the rain With the beating of the sleepers, and the burning of the coal Counting towns flashing by me, in a night that's full of soul [REPEAT CHORUS] Break: [G-F-Am-C]x2 Oh I know I will be loosened, from bonds that hold me tight And the chains all hung around me will fall away at last And on that fine and fateful day I will take thee in my arms I will ride the night train, and I will be the fisherman G F Am With light in my hair, you in my arms, woh-oh-oh C I said I ll be the fisherman [REPEAT CHORUS] Outro Jam: [G-F-Am-C]x?
