Knights Of The Road

Bb

Eb                             Bb              Eb
Set out from Carlisle with the sun beside him
                            Bb      Eb
Sinking low across an empty field
                       Bb                         Eb
Old moon a-rising, the first lone star a-shining
                                Bb      Eb
Shadows rolling down the lonely hills

                              Bb                       Eb
Run down by Lichfield and the rain it started pouring
                           Bb     Eb
Water flowing up along the road
                            Bb                        Eb
Listen to the rumble of the ten big wheels a-turning
                               Bb     Dm
Listen for the shifting of the load

               Cm    Bb                      Dm
Knights of the road, riders of the highways
            Cm    Bb                       B
Hauling the load, making it the hard way

E                          B                      E
Miles cracked on by and he sang with his engines
                                        B      E
The old tunes like "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine"
                                 B                      E
Dreaming of the girl who he'd be lying with at sunrise
                                    B    D#m
Another lonely milestone passed him by

               C#m   B                       D#m
Knights of the road, riders of the highways
            C#m   B
Hauling the load, making it the hard way

E   B   E   B   E   B   E   B   E

                            B                    E
Lightning it crashed and he never saw it coming
                                           B       E
They found him with his hands still at the wheel
                      B                           E
Just another poor boy trying to keep 'em running
                               B       D#m
He died lugging thirty tons of steel

               C#m   B                       D#m   C#m
Knights of the road, riders of the highways
B
Making it the hard way
