East Bound & Down/loaded up and Truckin' -- Jerry Reed
(The Smokie and the Bandit Song)
--this sounds more authentic if you hammer the d note from c#
(b string) when playing the D chord. :)
G C A D
[Chorus]
G A
Well I'm east bound and down, loaded up and truckin'
C D
a'we gonna' do what they say can't be done
G A
We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
C D G
I'm east bound, just watch 'ole' Bandit run.
[Verse]
Em C
Keep your foot hard on the peddle....son, never mind them brakes.....
A B7 E
let it all hang out 'cause we've got a run to make
E C
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta, and there's beer in Texarkana
A B7
and we'll bring it back no matter what it takes
[Chorus]
G A
Well I'm east bound and down, loaded up and truckin'
C D
a'we gonna' do what they say can't be done
G A
We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
C D G
I'm east bound, just watch 'ole' Bandit run.
[Solo]
[Verse]
Em C
Old Smokey's got them ears on, he's hot on your trail
A B7 E
And he ain't gonna' rest 'til you're in jail
E
So, you gotta' dodge him, you gotta' duck him
C
you gotta' keep that diesel truckin'
A B7
just put that hammer down and give it hell
[Chorus]
G A
Well I'm east bound and down, loaded up and truckin'
C D
a'we gonna' do what they say can't be done
G A
We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
C D G
I'm east bound, just watch 'ole' Bandit run.
