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
[G]Charlie's got a gold watch, [C]don't seem like a whole lot,
After [D]thirty years of drivin' [C]up and down the interst[G]ate.
But Charlie's had a good life, and Ch[C]arlie's got a good wife.
And [Am]after tonight she'll no [C]longer, be countin' the [D]days.
(Chorus)
Eighteen [C]wheels and a dozen [G]roses
Ten more [Em]miles on his [A]four day [D]run.
A few more [C]songs from the all-night [G]radio,[C]
Then he'll [G]spend the [Bm]rest of his [C]life,
With the [D]one that he [G]loves.
[G]They'll buy a Winnebago, set [C]out to find America.
They'll [D]do a lot of catchin' [C]up, a little at a [G]time.
With pieces of the old dream, they're go[C]nna light the old flame.
[Am]Doin' what they please, leavin' [C]every other reason [D]behind.
Chorus
Instrumental break - G C Am C D -
