                                E7             A 
In every town I've been to I've had someone to call

From Winnipeg to Edmonton, Vancouver to St. Paul

                               G                      D 
Last night I came to Denver, beneath the snow  capped ridge  
                                E7                A 
I thought about my darling as I stood beneath the bridge  
    D                                      G                  D 
And there were times I made her cry, but I guess by now she's learned  
                               G             A 
That any time I've wandered, I always have returned

In that long thin dawn  
     G         D 
That long thin dawn

verse 3: 
                                 G          D 
Right now I'm on a highway, just east of Omaha  
                              E7           A 
Riding shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw  
     D                            G                D 
With forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as Bill  
                              G                 A 
All the way to Windsor, we've got some miles to kill 


 
        G         D 
In that long thin dawn  
     G         D 
That long thin dawn  
   Dsus2      D 
Is coming on again 



verse 4: 
                                   G                D 
While climbing up a hillside, Bill drops her down a gear  
                                      E7          A 
And the engine sings so sweetly, 'tis music to my ear  
  D                              G             D 
I tell him how I long to be just like him if I can  
                                 G                   A 
Driving like the restless wind, across this precious land 


        G         D 
In that long thin dawn  
     G         D 
That long thin dawn  
   Dsus2      D 
Is coming on again

                                             G             D 
Says Bill, 'The air is clean tonight,' as he puffs a big cigar  
                                   E7                A 
'And if this rig keeps rolling, my boy you'll travel far  
    D                             G          D 
But when you are a trucker you'll come to realize  
                               G                  A 
The only thing a man can do is watch the world go by'
