Dead On Time

KEY: F#
 F#
HE'D DONE THIS RUN FOR A LONG TIME 
NOW

AND HE DON'T KNOW WHY AND HE DON'T 
KNOW HOW
BUT HE'D NEVER BEEN LATE SO THEY 
                      C#7
CALLED HIM DEAD ON TIME.

HE PAINTED THE NAME ON THE BONNET IN
 BLACK

AND THE STATION KIDS ON THE 
MAILMAN'S TRACK
WOULD ALL LOOK OUT FOR THE DUST OF 
       F#
DEAD ON TIME.
     C#7                          
WOULD ALL LOOK OUT FOR THE DUST OF

I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN WHEN I COME

BUT DEAD ON TIME RAN OUTTA LUCK

AND HE COULD'T BELIEVE WHEN HIS GOOD
 OLD TRUCK
GROUND TO A HAULT WITH A BURNT OUT 
         C#7
BEARINGS WHINE

NOT A TREE IN SIGHT AND THE WATER 
BAG LOW

NOT A HOPE IN HELL OF GETTING HER TO
 GO
DIDN'T LOOK TO GOOD AT ALL FOR DEAD 
         A
ON TIME.
        C#7                     B 
DIDN'T LOOK TO GOOD AT ALL FOR 
        F#
DEAD ON TIME.


A BIRTHDAY PARTY AND A CHOCOLATE 
CAKE

WENT DANCIN ACROSS THE DRY SALT LAKE
WHERE THE MIRAGE MET WITH THE 
             C#7
DISTANT TIMBER LINE.

AND THE SILENT TRUCK THREW A MEAGRE 
SHADE

OVER THE PLEA FOR HELP THAT HE MADE
SCRATCHED IN THE DIRT ON THE ROAD BY
      B        F#
 DEAD ON TIME.



HE'D DONE THIS RUN FOR A LONG TIME 
NOW

AND HE DON'T KNOW WHY AND HE DON'T 
KNOW HOW
BUT HE'D NEVER BEEN LATE SO THEY 
                  C#7

AND THE STATION KIDS ON THE 
MAILMAN'S TRACK
                              B    
STILL LOOK OUT FOR THE DUST OF DEAD
      F#
 ON TIME.

       C#7                         
YEAH!  STILL LOOK OUT FOR THE DUST 
             F#
OF DEAD ON TIME.
