18 Wheels Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Fred Eaglesmith
18 Wheels - Fred Eaglesmith
Enjoy, this is pretty much the whole song, listen to it to get the strumming/
picking/whatever you want to do.

Verse 1
        G
Driving rain
Cad99           G
40 miles out of Michigan
Cadd9         G
Spiderweb headlights
Cadd9   D
Shut me down

             G
I knocked on the door
Cadd9      G
I rang the bell
Cadd9         G
The sign said vacancy
Cadd9            D
There was no-one around

--------------------------
CHORUS
--------------------------

   Am                    C
18 wheels up against the wall
   G                 D
56 tons of grain alcohol
       Am                    C
Danger pay, I'm trying to be strong
               G
But my will is gone
           D
My will is gone
           G         Cadd9
My will is gone

G       Cadd9

-----------------------
END CHORUS
-----------------------

Verse 2 

          G
Lightning flashing
Cadd9         G      
Standing in a phone booth
Cadd9        G
I called her number
Cadd9      D
I got a machine

I heard her voice                 <- Continue G/Cadd9 progression
I heard the tone
I tried to speak
Couldn't say anything

------------------------------
Chorus
------------------------------
Verse 3

Blinding snow
Sioux City Iowa
It dawned on me
She was gone to stay

I jammed the brakes
I swung it around
Now I'm headed back
But it's way too late

-------------------------
Chorus
-------------------------

Outro - same as chorus, rinse and repeat
