Truckin' Chords by Grateful Dead

[Intro]

[Chorus]
E7 E                 E7             
■  ■ Truckin' got my chips cashed in
A                               
Keep truckin' like the dodah man
B                             A                  A7 A E7
Together more or less in line just keep truckin' on ■ ■ 


[Verse]
E7                                                     
Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
E7                                                      
Chicago New York Detroit and it's all on the same street
     E7                                         
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
                                 E7    
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings


[Chorus]
E                        
Dallas got a soft machine
A                               
Houston too close to New Orleans
B                              
New York got the ways and means
    A                     A7 E7
But just won't let you be oh no


[Verse]
E7                                                             
Most of the cats that you meet on the street speak of true love
E7                                                 
Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home
                                           E7   
One of these days they know they better be goin'
E7                                              
Out of the door and down on the street all alone


[Chorus]
E                          
Truckin' like the dodah man
A                                        
Once told me You've got to play your hand
B                                      
Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime
A7     A         A7       E
If you don't lay 'em down ■
A                                       G Gb7
Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me ■ ■  
A                   D      A7  G Gb7
■ Other times I can barely see ■ ■  
A D         B         Gb7
■ Lately it occurs to me 
B Gb        A    A7                E7   E
■ ■  What a long strange trip it's been ■


[Verse]
E7                                            
■  What in the world ever became of sweet Jane
                         E7                     
She lost her sparkle you know she isn't the same
               E7                   
Livin' on reds vitamin C and cocaine
                                         E
All a friend can say is Ain't it a shame ■


[Chorus]
               E      
Truckin' up to Buffalo
       A                              
I been thinkin' you got to mellow slow
   B                              B7
It takes time you pick a place to go
A                      A7 E7
And just keep truckin' on ■ 


[Verse]
            E7                             
Sittin' and starin' out of the hotel window
                        E7                    
Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again
                                    E      E7
I'd like to get some sleep before I travel ■ 
       E                 E7                           E
But if you got a warrant I guess you're gonna come in ■


[Chorus]
E7                              
■  Busted down on Bourbon Street
A                        
Set up like a bowlin' pin
B7                                  
Knocked down it gets to wearin' thin
A7                         E7
They just won't let you be no


[Verse]
                       E7                             
You're sick of hangin' around and you'd like to travel
                           E7                     
Get tired of travelin' and you want to settle down
                          E7                  
I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin'
                        E7                           
Get out of the door and light out and look all around


[Chorus]
A7                                   G 
Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me
A A7                D         
■ Other times I can barely see
G Gb7 A7 A
■ ■   ■  ■
D         B         Gb7 Gb
Lately it occurs to me  ■ 
       A                      E   
What a long strange trip it's been
               E7        
Truckin' I'm a goin' home
A7                  A             
Whoa whoa baby back where I belong
B                                    
Back home sit down and patch my bones
A                     A7
And get back truckin' on
           A7      
Been there get back


[Outro]
