Long Thin Dawn Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] D
[CBORUS:]
That [G]long thin [D]dawn
That [G]long thin [D]dawn
Is [Dsus2]coming on a[D]gain
[VERSE 1:]
I've seen the hills of Frisco and the [G]streets of Montre[D]al
In every town I've been to I've [E7]had someone to [A]call
From [D]Winnipeg to Edmonton, Van[G]couver to St. [D]Paul
I've had so many good friends, I [G]couldn't miss them [A]all
[CBORUS:]
That [G]long thin [D]dawn
That [G]long thin [D]dawn
Is [Dsus2]coming on a[D]gain
[VERSE 2:]
Last night I came to Denver, be[G]neath the snow capped [D]ridge
I thought about my darling as I [E7]stood beneath the [A]bridge
And [D]there were times I made her cry, but I [G]guess by now she's [D]learned
That any time I've wandered, I [G]always have re[A]turned
[CBORUS:]
In that [G]long thin [D]dawn
That [G]long thin [D]dawn
Is [Dsus2]coming on a[D]gain
[VERSE 3:]
Right now I'm on a highway, just [G]east of Oma[D]ha
Riding shotgun on the biggest [E7]rig you ever [A]saw
With [D]forty tons of pig iron and a [G]trucker known as [D]Bill
All the way to Windsor, we've [G]got some miles to [A]kill
[CBORUS:]
In that [G]long thin [D]dawn
That [G]long thin [D]dawn
Is [Dsus2]coming on a[D]gain
[VERSE 4:]
While climbing up a hillside, Bill [G]drops her down a [D]gear
And the engine sings so sweetly, 'tis [E7]music to my [A]ear
I [D]tell him how I long to be just [G]like him if I [D]can
Driving like the restless wind, a[G]cross this precious [A]land
[CBORUS:]
In that [G]long thin [D]dawn
That [G]long thin [D]dawn
Is [Dsus2]coming on a[D]gain
[VERSE 5:]
Says Bill, "The air is clean tonight," as he [G]puffs a big ci[D]gar
"And if this rig keeps rolling, my [E7]boy you'll travel [A]far
But [D]when you are a trucker you'll [G]come to rea[D]lize
The only thing a man can do is [G]watch the world go [A]by"
[CBORUS:]
In that [G]long thin [D]dawn
That [G]long thin [D]dawn
Is [Dsus2]coming on a[D]gain
[CBORUS:]
That [G]long thin [D]dawn
That [G]long thin [D]dawn
Is [Dsus2]coming on a[D]gain
