Champion At Keeping Them Rolling Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I am[G] an [Am]old-[D] ti[Am]mer,
I travel the road
I [G]sit in me wagon and lumber me load
[Am]Me hotel is the jungle,
the caff me abode
And I'm [E]well known to Blondie and [Am]Mary

[Verse 2]
Me [Am]liquor is diesel oil [G]laced
with strong tea
And the old Highway Code
was me first ABC
And I [Am]cut me eye- teeth
on an old AEC
And I'm [E]champion at keeping
them [Am]rolling
[G][D][Am]

[Verse 3]
I've sat in the cabin and
broiled in the sun
Been [G]snowed up on Shap
on the Manchester run
I've [Am]crawled through the fog
with me twentytwo ton
[E]Of fish that was stinking like [Am]blazes

[Verse 4]
From [Am]London to Glasgow
to the [G]Newcastle quay
From Liverpool, Preston and Bristol City
The [Am]polones on the road give the
thumb sign to me
But I'm [E]champion at keeping
them [Am]rolling
[G][D][Am]

[Verse 5]
You [E]may sing [Am]of your your soldiers
and sailors so bold
But there's [G]many and many
a hero untold
[Am]Who sits at the wheel in the
heat and the cold
[E]Day after day without [Am]sleeping

[Verse 6]
So [Am]watch out for cops and slow
[G]down at the bend
Check all your gauges
and watch your big end
And [Am]zig with your lights when
you pass an old friend
You'll be [E]champion at keeping
them [Am]rolling

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][Am]
[E][Am]

[Verse 7]
So [Am]watch out for cops and
[G]slow down at the bend
Check all your gauges and
watch your big end
And [Am]zig with your lights when
you pass an old friend
You'll be [E]champion at keeping
them [Am]rolling

[Outro 1]
[Am][G][D][Am]
