Kathy Mattea - "18 Wheels And A Dozen Roses"

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 C
Charlie's got a gold watch, don't seem like a whole lot,
D C G
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.
Am C D
And after tonight she'll no longer, be countin' the days.

(Chorus)
C G
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
Em A D
Ten more miles on his four day run.
C G C
A few more songs from the all-night radio,
G Bm C
Then he'll spend the rest of his life,
D G
With the one that he loves.

G C
They'll buy a Winnebago, set out to find America.
D C G
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.
Am C D
Doin' what they please, leavin' every other reason behind.

Chorus
Instrumental break - G C Am C D -
Chrorus
