Mighty Trucks of Midnight Bruce Cockburn
(Capo on the 3rd fret for original key)
[INTRO] Am Em Am Em Am Em D Em
[Verse]
Am Em
Used to have a town but the factory moved away
Am Em
Down to Mexico where they work for hardly any pay
Am Em
Used to have a country but they sold it down the river
D Em
Like a repossessed farm auctioned off to the highest bidder
[Chorus]
G Em D Em
Mighty trucks of midnight moving on... ....Moving on
G Em D Em
Mighty trucks of midnight moving on... ....Moving on
[Verse]
Am Em
Wave a flag, wave the bible, wave your sex or your business degree
Am Em
Whatever you want -- but don't wave that thing at me
Am Em
The tide of love can leave your prizes scattered
D Em
But when you get to the bottom it's the only thing that matters
[Chorus]
G Em D Em
Mighty trucks of midnight moving on... ....Moving on
G Em D Em
Mighty trucks of midnight moving on... ....Moving on
[Verse]
Am Em
I believe it's a sin to try and make things last forever
Am Em
Everything that exists in time runs out of time some day
Am Em
Got to let go of the things that keep you tethered
D Em
Take your place with grace and then be on your way
[Chorus]
G Em D Em
Mighty trucks of midnight moving on... ....Moving on
G Em D Em
Mighty trucks of midnight moving on... ....Moving on
