Chord/Tab song: Dead on Time

DEAD ON TIME.
KEY: F#
HE[F#]'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[C#7] BEEN LATE SO THEY 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 L[F#]OOK OUT FOR THE DUST OF DEAD ON TIME.
WOULD ALL LOO[C#7]K OUT FOR THE DUST OF DE[B]AD ON TIME.[F#]

I GOTTA BE BACK FOR THE KIDS BIRTHDAY

HE MAILMAN SAID AS HE WAVED HOORAY
AND WHELED HIS TRUCK ON THE LONG HAUL HOMEWARD BO[C#7]UND.

THE WIFE'S GONNA MAKE HIM A CHOCOLATE CAKE

THEY MADE ME PROMICE THAT I WON'T BE LATE
I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN WHEN I COME [F#]NEXT TIME AROUND.
I'LL S[C#7]EE YOU AGAIN WHEN I COME NEXT TIME[B] AROUND.[F#]

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 BEARINGS WHINE[C#7]

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 ON TIME.[A]
DIDN'T LOOK TO[C#7] GOOD AT ALL FOR DEAD ON TIME[B].[F#]

A BIRTHDAY PARTY AND A CHOCOLATE CAKE

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

AND THE SILENT TRUCK THREW A MEAGRE SHADE

OVER THE PLEA FOR HELP THAT HE MADE
SCRATCHED IN THE DIRT ON THE ROAD BY DEAD ON TIME[B].[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 CALLED HIM DEAD ON TIME.[C#7]

HE PAINTED THE NAME ON THE BONNET IN BLACK

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

YEAH! STILL L[C#7]OOK OUT FOR THE DUST OF DEAD ON TIME.[F#]
