 D                   G            D       Bm           G         Em          
 shoes all slick and spit and my singlet fresh and my sideburns shaved  as I 

 A                G               A             G          A      D                   
 turn    from the mirror    and I open my first beer since yester-day

     D                   G             D       Bm          G      Em        
Danny  brings the Bedford round a three ton girl with a flat top tray 

 D                   G               D       Bm           G         Em          
And she knows the way to town so we kiss goodbye to two weeks pay


 A                      G               A             G     A      D             
Now the leaves are all shaking and the stars are all waking from the day

 G                   D                   G                   D                  
 Big wheel turning   Turning all night   Big light burning   Burning so bright

 G                      D                      G                A        D       
 Downright foolish  but that's all right  it's only 40 miles to Saturday night

     D                   G             D       Bm          G      Em

     D                   G             D       Bm     G      Em        
And Joanne from Miner's Creek, she said that she'd be back again

 A                      G               A         G     A     D            
She lives out on the station and she works on my imagination



End on Chorus (x2)

 G                   D                   G                   D                  
 Big wheel turning   Turning all night   Big light burning   Burning so bright

 G                      D                      G                A        D       
 Downright foolish  but that's all right  it's only 40 miles to Saturday night

 G                   D                   G                   D                  
 Big wheel turning   Turning all night   Big light burning   Burning so bright

 G                      D                      G                A        D       
 Downright foolish  but that's all right  it's only 40 miles to Saturday night
