Truckstop Darlin - King Of The Highway by Misc Unsigned Bands

King of the Highway

by Truckstop Darlin�

Standard Tuning
Capo 5th fret

G	
There�s a coal minin� town

Where the sun never sleeps
Em
It�s cold in Alaska

Her tears freeze to her cheeks
	               C
And there�s an old man that loves her
			                G
He�s comin� home, life or death.

G
Two months drug by

Since the day he first left
Em
He can still hear goodbye

He can still see her breath
           C
In that cracked sideview mirror
			                 G
That he swore he�d fix last time

G
Thirty miles from home

Dogs bark and red lights flash
Em
I love Marie, still tattooed on the dash
            C
Of that jackknifed freightliner,
	               G
Phone rings, 2 AM


Chorus

D	           C				                  G
Hail to you, you�re the king of the highway now  x 2







G
That frozen hell it took him

And he ain�t coming back
Em
But her memory�s still thick

Like this ice that never cracks
	       C
It�s damn cold in Alaska
		              G
And that sun never sleeps

G
She�s got his old CB box

She yells - �breaker, breaker 10�
Em
Won�t you honk if you see the ghost of that truck drivin� man
	         C				                          G
And please tell him that I love him, and tell him this


Chorus
