Uncle Pete

• A

 
 A                            D 
My Uncle Pete was a trucker, riding down the Nullarbor plain 
 a                                 E 
ten split gears and an overdrive, crome stack shooting out flames 
 A                              D                              A 
He'd throw me up into the cab, my little hands would grip the wheel 
A                                         E                  A 
and I would dream about the day, I could drive that rig for real 
D         A          D                  A 
Rolling, rolling,.. rolling around the world 
 D                 A 
ten years old and ten feet tall 
 E 
waving good bye to the girl next door 
 D        A       D                    A 
rolling rolling, today I'm king of my street 
             D                        A       
I've got my sleeves rolled up and my arm hanging out 
       E                   A 
as I drive off with Uncle Pete 
       E                   A 
as I drive off with Uncle Pete 
 A                              D 
Heading west on highway one my eyes are glued to the road 
     A                                   E 
the two way allways in my hand, "little buddy" thats my code 
 A                                                D                 A 
We'd pull into Mick's for a pie and chips, not a brussel sprout in sight 
 A                                                E              A 
some yarns to spin as we listen to Slim, then we drive into the night 
 
 
Chorus, instrumental D A D A D A E x2 
 
 D         A          D                  A 
Rolling, rolling,.. rolling around the world 
 D                 A 
ten years old and ten feet tall 
 E 
showing off in front of the girl next door 
 D        A       D                    A 
rolling rolling, today I'm king of my street 
             D                        A   
I've got my sleeves rolled up and my arm hanging out 
       E                   A 
as I drive off with Uncle Pete 
             D                        A   
I've got my sleeves rolled up and my arm hanging out 
       E                   A  
as I drive off with Uncle Pete 
       E                   A 
as I drive off with Uncle Pete 
 A                           E 
If I had one wish I'd wanna be 
     F#m                    D 
If I had one wish I'd wanna be 
 A                          E 
If I had one wish I'd wanna be 
               A     E A 
Like my Uncle Pete.
