Trucker's Hitch

• F

Intro: 4x F, 4x Dm 


F                Dm 
I, I know how to tie 
              F 
Every kind of knot 
       Dm 
Except one 

        F 
It's so hard 
                     Dm 
The greatest knot of all 
                F 
So flexible and strong 
                   Dm 
But I do something wrong 

           Bb 
I know the Bowline 

Sheepshank 
               C 
and the Double Overhand 
        Bb 
but the Trucker's Hitch 
             C 
I just don't understand 

Fm 
Let's do the Trucker's Hitch 

the Trucker's Hitch 

F                   Dm 
I, I really like to sail 
         F 
Just the sea 
             Dm 
the wind and me 

    F 
But whenever 
            Dm 
I adjust my sail 
       F 
Try to loosen it up 
            
while I'm docking my boat 
  Dm 
I fail 

Bb 
I know the Square Knot 

The Clove Hitch 
                    C 
The Double Shoelace Bow 
        Bb 
but The Trucker's Hitch 
                 C 
is all I need to know 

Fm

(Freely spoken to Fm-Fm7-Cm-Ab) 
                    
People of the world! 

The time has come... 

to tie this knot once and for all! 

Bonitas 

Show me the ropes! 

On every dance floor across the world 

Let's do the Trucker's Hitch 

Are you ready? 

Let's tie this knot! 


NC or Cm7/Ab 

Tie, tie, tie, tie, tie 

This is how you do it! 


Fm 
Bring it up 

Check the rope 

Spin around 

On the neck 

Whip it, whip it 

Take it home 

Bring it up, split it now 


Shoulder, now, make a loop 

Pull it, feed it, push it through 

Up, stretch, down again 

In the face and prepare 


Lift, pull, bring it round 

Thigh, tie, tighten tie 

Kick the heel 

Swivel time 

Round, round, back to knot 

C'mon! 


Pull the loop 

Down and through 

Pull again 

Lift the hand 

Through the loop 

Make a stitch 

Now you got your Trucker's Hitch!
