This is my first tab, but I thought I should make this since the only other chord sheet for this song isn't completely accurate. This is the album version too, so if you are listening to a live version, they tend to be a bit different. Please Email me if you notice any problems - [email protected] Opening Riff: e|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|--5h7-7-7-7-7--5h7-7-7-7-7--5------------------| E|-------------------------------7--6--5--3--0---| Short Riff During the Bridge: e|-----------------------| B|-----------------------| G|-----------------------| D|-----------------------| A|---------------0-------| E|---3--0-2-0-2----------| Note: -The E7 during the verses are optional, but the bass plays a D on the upbeat of two, so it fits and makes it a little more interesting. Otherwise, just continue strumming E. -If you are playing the riff during the bridge, it is over G D/F# A) -D/F#: 200232 (I find it easier to plat the F# on the bottom with my thumb) (Opening Riff) (E E7) (x4) E A Truckin' got my chips cashed in. Keep truckin', like the do-dah man B A (E E7) (x4) Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin' on. E E7 E E7 Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street. E E7 E E7 Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street. E E7 E E7 Your typical city involved in a typical daydream E E7 E E7 Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings. E A Dallas, got a soft machine; Houston, too close to New Orleans; B A (E E7)(x4) New York's got the ways and means; but just won't let you be. E E7 E E7 Most of the cats that you meet on the streets speak of true love, E E7 E E7 Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home. E E7 E E7 One of these days they know they gotta get goin' E E7 E E7 Out of the door and down on the streets all alone. E A Truckin', like the do-dah man. Once told me "You've got to play your hand" B A (E E7) (x4) Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime, if you don't lay'em down, A G D/F# A Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me; A G D/F# A Other times I can barely see. D F#m Amaj7 (E E7) (x4) Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it's been. E E7 E E7 What in the world ever became of sweet Jane? E E7 E E7 She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same E E7 E E7 Livin' on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine, E E7 E E7 All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame?" E A Truckin', up to Buffalo. Been thinkin', you got to mellow slow B A (E E7) (x4) Takes time, to pick a place to go, and just keep truckin' on. E E7 E E7 Sittin' and starin' out of the hotel window. E E7 E E7 Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again E E7 E E7 I'd like to get some sleep before I travel, E E7 E E7 But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in. E A Busted, down on Bourbon Street, Set up, like a bowlin' pin. B A (E E7) (x4) Knocked down, it get's to wearin' thin. They just won't let you be. E E7 E E7 You're sick of hangin' around and you'd like to travel; E E7 E E7 Get tired of travelin' and you want to settle down. E E7 E E7 I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin', E E7 E E7 Get out of the door and light out and look all around. A G D/F# A Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me; A G D/F# A Other times I can barely see. D F#m Amaj7 (E E7) (x4) Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it's been. E A Truckin', I'm a goin' home. Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong, B A (E E7) repeat until fade out. Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin' on. ************************************ | h Hammer-on ************************************
