I'm Moving On

(início)

      A                         A7
That big eight-wheeler rolling down the track
              A                      A7
means your true-loving daddy ain't coming back.
           D              A
I'm moving on, I'm moving on,
          E
you were flying too high, for my little old sky,
               A
and I'm moving on.
      A                      A7
That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
       A                            A7
said, hello to the southland, we're coming to you.
           D               A
I'm moving on, oh hear my song,
             E
you had the laugh on me, now I'm setting you free,
               A
and I'm moving on.
        A                       A7
Mister Fireman won't you please listen to me,
   A                     A7
I got a pretty mama in Tennessee.
            D                A
Keep moving on, keep rolling on,
            E
you gotta shovel the coal, let this rattler roll,
                   A
and keep moving me on.
        A                    A7
Mister Engineer, take that throttle in hand,
      A                            A7
this rattler's the fastest in the southern land,
               D                     A
to keep moving on, I stayed away too long,
           E
you gonna ease my mind, and put me there on time,
                A
and keep moving on.
      A                   A7
I've told you, baby, from time to time,
     A                      A7
you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind.
           D              A
I'm moving on, I'm moving on,
              E
well, you've broken your vow, and it's all over now,
               A
and I'm moving on.
            A                         A7
You' done switched your engine, now I ain't got time
       A                A7
for a trifling woman on my main line.
           D                     A
I'm moving on, done your daddy wrong,
   E
I warned you twice, now you can settle the price,
                 A
and keep moving on.
     A                         A7
But someday, baby, when you've had your play,
        A                         A7
you'll want your daddy, but your daddy will say :
             D                       A
Keep moving on, you stayed away too long,
     E
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue,
            A
keep moving on.
