This is my first tab, so here it goes... Great song by Terry Allen that I discovered
listening to Cracker's cover.
A
A Truckload of Art
D A
From New York City
E
Came rollin' down the road
D
Yeah the driver was singing
A
And the sunset was pretty
But the truck turned over
E A
And she rolled off the road
D
Yeah a Truckload of Art
A
is burning near the highway
Precious objects are scattered
E
All over the ground
D
And it's a terrible sight
A
If a person were to see it
E A
But there weren't nobody around
(Yodel)
A
Yeah the driver went sailing
D A
High in the sky
E
Landing in the gold lap of the Lord
D
Who smiled and then said
A
"Son, you're better off dead
Than haulin' a truckload
E A
full of hot avant-garde
(chorus)
A
Yes... an important artwork
D
Was thrown burning to the ground
A E
Tragically... landing in the weeds
D
And the smoke could be seen
A
Ahhh for miles all around
E A
Yeah but nobody... knows what it means
D
Yes... a Truckload of Art
A
Is burning near the highway
E
And it's a tough job for the highway patrol
D
Ahhh they'll soon see the smoke
A
An come runnin' to poke
Then dig a deep ditch
E A
And throw them arts in a hole
(Yodel)
D
Yeah a Truckload of Art
A
Is burning near the highway
E
And it's raging far-out of control
D
And what the critics have cheered
A
Is now shattered and queered
And their noble reviews
E A
Have been stewed on the road
(chorus)
