Foggy Mirrors

F G C


[Verse 1]

C                           
Daylight breaks, I check both 
                 F              
mirrors, rub my eyes and light a 
  D
smoke
 G                                 
Then a few miles further on I find 
    C
a place
 C                          
Where the blokes all take on 
                      F            
breakfast, tighten wheels and check
          D
 their loads
  G                                
Before we start the last leg of 
   C
this race
 G                               
Yes this race to beat the traffic 
           F                 D
and this race to beat the scales
 G                                 
And this race to get unloaded early
  C
 too
 C                                 
Seems our industry's gone crazy 
      F              D
time is all some care about
 G                                 
What I'd give for those old 
           C
truckin' days we knew

[Chorus]

G                             
And as my boggies hug the white 
                  Am
lines while the miles are flyin' by
           F               G      
Both my mirrors show me pictures 
       D
of the past
G                            
An' in between the split shift 
               Am
changes to myself I swear a vowel

 F                              G 
That this trip with wool from 
          C
Winton is my last
 F         G         C
Goin' home, headin' home

[Verse 2]

C                                 
In both mirrors clearly dear one I
     F               D
 can see your honest face
 G                               
And our children's cheery eyed at 
       C
your side
  C                             
Through the fog streaked mirrors 
               F              D
clearly do I see your sunny smile
 G                                 
That's my love known since you were
           C
 first my bride
 C                           
Though my eyes are laced with 
                  F               D
roadmaps and so many years have gone
 G                                 
Every detail of your features I can
  C
 see
 C                                 
And these mirrors bring me mem'ries
           F             D
 of the laughter of our kids
G                                 
As you drove them to some depot to
      C
 meet me

[Chorus]

G                             
And as my boggies hug the white 
                  Am
lines while the miles are flyin' by
 F                         G      
Both my mirrors show me pictures 
       C
of the past
 G                            
An' in between the split shift 
              Am
changes to myself I swear a vowel
 F                              G 
That this trip with wool from 
          C
Winton is my last
 F         G         C
Goin' home, headin' home

[Verse 3]

C                              
And I've asked myself a thousand 
             F                D
times when I've been on the track
 G                                 
Just why you've stuck to me through
            C
 all these years
C                                 
As I watched my mirrors blurred by
     F                 D
 fog I cannot clearly see
G                             C
My tyres is it fog or is it tears?

[Chorus]

G                                 
And as my boggies hug the white 
              Am
line while the miles are flying by
 F                          G     
These old mirrors told the story 
       D
of the past
 G                            
And in between the split shift 
             Am
changes to myself I've made this 
vowel
 F                             G  
That this trip with wool from 
          C
Winton is my last
 F            G              C
Goin' home, headin' home at last
