Long Thin Dawn

[INTRO:] D

[CHORUS:]
     G         D
That long thin dawn
     G         D
That long thin dawn
   Dsus2      D
Is coming on again


[VERSE 1:]
I've seen the hills of Frisco and 
    G                D
the streets of Montreal
                                E7 
In every town I've been to I've had
            A
 someone to call
     D                        G   
From Winnipeg to Edmonton, 
          D
Vancouver to St. Paul
I've had so many good friends, I 
G                  A
couldn't miss them all


[CHORUS:]
     G         D
That long thin dawn
     G         D
That long thin dawn
   Dsus2      D
Is coming on again


[VERSE 2:]
                               G   
Last night I came to Denver, 
                   D
beneath the snow  capped ridge
I thought about my darling as I 
E7                A
stood beneath the bridge
    D                              
And there were times I made her 
        G                  D
cry, but I guess by now she's 
learned
That any time I've wandered, I 
G             A
always have returned

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

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


[CHORUS:]
        G         D
In that long thin dawn
     G         D
That long thin dawn
   Dsus2      D

[VERSE 5:]
Says Bill, "The air is clean 
                G             D
tonight," as he puffs a big cigar
"And if this rig keeps rolling, my 
E7                A
boy you'll travel far
    D                             
But when you are a trucker you'll 
G          D
come to realize
                               G   
The only thing a man can do is 
               A
watch the world go by"
