Knights Of The Road chords

[INTRO]
[Bb]

[VERSE]
[Eb]Set out from Carlisle with the [Bb]sun beside him [Eb]
Sinking low across an empty [Bb]field [Eb]
Old moon a-rising, the [Bb]first lone star a-shining [Eb]
Shadows rolling down the lonely [Bb]hills [Eb]

[VERSE]
Run down by Lichfield and the [Bb]rain it started pouring [Eb]
Water flowing up along the [Bb]road [Eb]
Listen to the rumble of the [Bb]ten big wheels a-turning [Eb]
Listen for the shifting of the [Bb]load [Dm]

[CHORUS]
Knights of the [Cm]road, [Bb]riders of the highways [Dm]
Hauling the [Cm]load, [Bb]making it the hard way [B]

[VERSE]
[E]Miles cracked on by and he [B]sang with his engines [E]
The old tunes like "Kisses Sweeter Than [B]Wine" [E]
Dreaming of the girl who he'd be [B]lying with at sunrise [E]
Another lonely milestone passed him [B]by [D#m]

[CHORUS]
Knights of the [C#m]road, [B]riders of the highways [D#m]
Hauling the [C#m]load, [B]making it the hard way

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[E] [B] [E] [B] [E] [B] [E] [B] [E]

[VERSE]
Lightning it crashed and he [B]never saw it coming [E]
They found him with his hands still at the [B]wheel [E]
Just another poor boy [B]trying to keep 'em running [E]
He died lugging thirty tons of [B]steel [D#m]

[CHORUS]
Knights of the [C#m]road, [B]riders of the highways [D#m] [C#m]
[B]Making it the hard way
