Long Thin Dawn Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]
I've seen the hills of Frisco,
the [C]streets of Montreal
[G]And every town I've been to,
[A]I've had someone to [D]call
From [G]Winnipeg to Edmonton,
[C]Vancouver to St. P[G]aul
I've had so many good friends,
I [C]could not miss them [D]all
In that [C]long, thin [G]dawn
That [C]long, thin [G]dawn's
a -comin' [D]on [G]again
Last night I came to Calgary
beneath [C]the snow -capped [G]ridge
Thought about my darlin'
as I [A]stood beneath the [D]bridge
There [G]were times I've made her cry,
but I [C]guess by now she's [G]learned
Anytime I've wandered,
[C]I always have re[D]turned
In that [C]long, thin [G]dawn
That [C]long,
thin [G]dawn is a -comin' on again
Right now I'm on a highway
just [C]east of Omaha
[G]A -ridin' shotgun
on the biggest [A]brick you ever [D]saw
[G]Forty tons of pig iron
and a [C]trucker known as [G]Bill
All the way to Windsor
we [C]got some miles to [D]kill
In that [C]long thin [G]dawn
[C]That long thin [G]dawn's
a -comin' on again
While climbin' up a hillside,
Bill [C]drops her down a [G]gear
And the engine sings so sweetly,
tis [A]music to my [D]ear
I [G]tell him that I'd love to
be just [C]like him if I [G]can
Drivin' like a restless wind
[C]across this precious land
[D]In that long thi[C]n daw[G]n
That [C]long thin [G]dawn's
a -comin' on again
Says Bill the air is clean at night
as he [C]puffs [G]a big cigar
And if this rig keeps rollin'
my [A]boy'll travel [D]far
When [G]you are a trucker
you'll [C]come to real[G]ize
The only thing a man can do
is [C]watch the world roll [D]by
In that [C]long thin [G]dawn
[C]That long thin [G]dawn's comin' on again
