This is a great song. It should be noted a version is up already on UG, but this one is just
a little bit more accurate and has break part of the song as well as some fill chords you hear.
I cant take credit for this but it is correct. have fun!

Song Title: Big Wheels In The Moonlight
Standard tuning - Key of G
Intro - G picking top 3 strings
G
I came from a town that was so small
D G
You look both ways, you could see it all
All I wanted was some way out - Every evening I'd slip into town
C G
And stand around by the caution light
D G
And watch the big trucks rolling by
C G D G
For me it was a beautiful sight - Big wheels in the moonlight
G D G
I had a case of wanderlust I'd lie awake with the windows up Out on Highway Fifty Nine
I could hear some big old diesel whine
C G
She was going through all the gears
D G
And headed out to who knows where
C G
I fell asleep 'most every night
D G
Dreaming about big wheels in the moonlight
C G D
And I want to put my life on the centerline
C G D
And I want to see the world before I die
Em G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C (quick)
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
G D G F C G
Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
G D G
How I got here, its hard to say, so many things got in my way
Can't complain about all I've got - Kids and a wife and a regular job
C G D G
But at night when I'm sitting here - All alone in a living room chair
C G D G
Sometimes I close my eyes - And see big wheels in the moonlight
C G D
And I want to put my life on the centerline
C G D
And I want to see the world before I die
Em G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C (quick)
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
G D G F C G
Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
Break G Em D Em D
C G D
And I want to put my life on the centerline
C G D
And I want to see the world before I die
Em G C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C (quick)
And I know that there's a peace I'll never find
G D G F C
Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
G D C Cadd9 C Cadd9 C G F G
Cause those big old wheels keep rolling through my mind
