CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:
D
CHORUS:
GD
That long thin dawn
GD
That long thin dawn
Dsus2D
Is coming on again
VERSE 1:
GD
I've seen the hills of Frisco and the streets of Montreal
E7A
In every town I've been to I've had someone to call
DGD
From Winnipeg to Edmonton, Vancouver to St. Paul
GA
I've had so many good friends, I couldn't miss them all
CHORUS:
GD
That long thin dawn
GD
That long thin dawn
Dsus2D
Is coming on again
VERSE 2:
GD
Last night I came to Denver, beneath the snow capped ridge
E7A
I thought about my darling as I stood beneath the bridge
DGD
And there were times I made her cry, but I guess by now she's learned
GA
That any time I've wandered, I always have returned
CHORUS:
GD
In that long thin dawn
GD
That long thin dawn
Dsus2D
Is coming on again
VERSE 3:
GD
Right now I'm on a highway, just east of Omaha
E7A
Riding shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw
DGD
With forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as Bill
GA
All the way to Windsor, we've got some miles to kill
CHORUS:
GD
In that long thin dawn
GD
That long thin dawn
Dsus2D
Is coming on again
VERSE 4:
GD
While climbing up a hillside, Bill drops her down a gear
E7A
And the engine sings so sweetly, 'tis music to my ear
DGD
I tell him how I long to be just like him if I can
GA
Driving like the restless wind, across this precious land
CHORUS:
GD
In that long thin dawn
GD
That long thin dawn
Dsus2D
Is coming on again
VERSE 5:
GD
Says Bill, "The air is clean tonight," as he puffs a big cigar
E7A
"And if this rig keeps rolling, my boy you'll travel far
DGD
But when you are a trucker you'll come to realize
GA
The only thing a man can do is watch the world go by"
CHORUS:
GD
In that long thin dawn
GD
That long thin dawn
Dsus2D
Is coming on again
CHORUS:
GD
That long thin dawn
GD
That long thin dawn
Dsus2D
Is coming on again
