Eignteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses
As preformed by Kathy Mattea
Capo 1
You can try putting the walk from G to Em in there. Sounds good.
E----3--2--0--
I think the G chord on this song sounds best played 3 2 0 0 3 3.
But do what makes you happy
GC
Charlie's got a gold watch, don't seem like a whole lot,
DCG
After thirty years of drivin' up and down the interstate.
C
But Charlie's had a good life, and Charlie's got a good wife.
AmCD
And after tonight she'll no longer, be countin' the days.
(Chorus)
CG
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
EmAD
Ten more miles on his four day run.
CGC
A few more songs from the all-night radio,
GBmC
Then he'll spend the rest of his life,
DG
With the one that he loves.
GC
They'll buy a Winnebago, set out to find America.
DCG
They'll do a lot of catchin' up, a little at a time.
C
With pieces of the old dream, they're gonna light the old flame.
AmCD
Doin' what they please, leavin' every other reason behind.
Chorus
