The Trucks Came Through

Em D C Em


[Verse 1]

     Em                        
The dams had all run dry, empty 
    C
clouds across the sky
          G                        
And the breeding stock had left, 
             D
the paddocks bare
           Em                      
There was dust across the land, we 
        C
were feeding stock by hand
       G                           
Just holdin' on and nothin' left to
   D
 spare


[Chorus]

D         G                   D
And the trucks came through, one 
then two
          Em                       
Then an army close behind, gettin' 
  C
hope across the line
     G                 D
The big wheels roll, bales of gold
     Em                         
An answer to a prayer to see 'em 
  C
there
                   G
The trucks came through


[Instrumental]

G D Em C (ideally played on an

[Verse 2]
          Em                       
From the big and little towns, from
       C
 the north and from the south
   G                            D
Loaded up and givin' what they can
                 Em                
And they spent days out on the 
         C
road, just haulin' in the load
      G                D
For mates we never we had


[Chorus]

D         G                   D
And the trucks came through, one 
then two
          Em                       
Then an army close behind, gettin' 
  C
hope across the line
     G                 D
The big wheels roll, bales of gold
     Em                         
An answer to a prayer to see 'em 
  C
there
                   G
The trucks came through

[Bridge]

  Am
And when these days are done
 Bm7                 C
And the rivers run
             Cmaj7
We won't forget


[Chorus]

D         G                   D
And the trucks came through, one 
then two
          Em                       
Then an army close behind, gettin' 
  C
hope across the line
     G                 D
The big wheels roll, bales of gold
     Em                         
An answer to a prayer to see 'em 
  C
there
                   G
The trucks came through
