Not The Nine Oclock News - I Like Trucking

• D

From the 80's TV series of the same name. Watch out for the key changes for final choruses.

Intro = D A

Chorus
D      A        Bm     F#m
I like trucking I like trucking
D      A              G       A
I like trucking and I like to truck
D      A        Bm     F#m
I like trucking I like trucking
       D          A           Bm    A
If you don't like trucking....tough luck

Verse 1
C      G                          A
On the road you must be brave and tireless
C      G                          A
On the road you can listen to the wireless
C                   A              Em
On the road you eat café food with pride
                           D  A
And you can throw it up outside

Bridge 1
    Bm
The greatest kick in trucking comes from knocking down a biker
   A
Or swinging round a roundabout and picking up a hiker
       G
You're chatting up that piece of skirt who's sitting by your side
     Em                           F#m        A
Then pop the crucial question - a ride for a ride

Chorus
D      A        Bm     F#m
I like trucking I like trucking
D      A              G       A
I like trucking and I like to truck
D      A        Bm     F#m
I like trucking I like trucking
       D          A           Bm      A  Bm A
If you don't like trucking....tough luck

Bridge 2
   Bm
Perhaps the greatest laugh of all that makes this life worthwhile
   A
Is waving on the car behind giving him a smile
     G
With glasses and with gratitude he revs his little load
    Em                             F#m               A
And meets another trucking truck a-trucking down the road

Verse 2
C      G                          A
On the road you must be tough and ruthless
C       G                          A
And the rumours that we're gay are truthless
C                   A                      Em
On the road you can wear your shirtsleeves rolled
                            A   D
You eat chocolate when it's cold
       G                                      D
From behind we like to sneak up on you from behind
      G                         A
Never mind if you hit 'em never mind

Chorus plus key change up one tone
E       B        C#m     G#m
We like trucking we like trucking
E       B               A       B
We like trucking and we like to truck
E       B        C#m     G#m
We like trucking we like trucking
       E          B           C#m   B
If you don't like trucking....tough luck

Chorus plus key change up 1/2 tone
F       C        Dm      Am
We like trucking we like trucking
F        C              A#      C
We like trucking and we like to truck
F       C        Dm     Am
We like trucking we like trucking
       F          C           Dm    C
If you don't like trucking....tough luck
