I Know You Rider - Traditional

D                        C       G       D
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
      F          C          F       C   F    D
Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.

Lay down last night, Lord I could not take my rest;
Lay down last night, Lord I could not take my rest;
My mind was wanderin' like the wild geese in the west.

The sun will shine in my back door someday;
The sun will shine in my back door someday;
March winds will blow all my troubles away.

I wish I was a headlight, on a North bound train;
I wish I was a headlight, on a North bound train;
I'd shine my light through the cool Colorado rain.

I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
I know you rider, gonna miss me when I'm gone;
Gonna miss your baby, from rollin' in your arms.




Six Days on the Road
E. Green, C. Montgomery

        G                        D7                          G
Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh rollin' down the Eastern Seaboard
G                                                           D7
I've got my diesel wound up and she's running like never before.
          C                     D7            G                  C
There's a speed zone ahead, all right, but, I don't see a cop in sight
    G                         D7                   G
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

I got ten forward gears and a Georgia overdrive
I'm taking little white pills and my eyes are open wide
I just passed a 'Gimmy' and a 'White', I've been passin' everything in sight
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

Well, it seems like a month since I kissed my baby good-bye
I could have a lot of women but not like some other guys
I could find one to hold me tight, but I could never believe that it's right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

Well, the I.C.C. is checking on down the line
I'm a little overweight and my log's three days behind
But nothing bothers me tonight, I can dodge all the scales all right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

Well, my rig's a little old, but that don't mean she's slow
There's a flame from her stack and the smoke's rolling black as coal
My hometown's coming in sight, if you think I'm happy your right
Six days on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight

Tabbed 1997 by Tilman Heckel 


And here come the lyrics:
From: lclement@pipeline.com (Luis Clemente-Guzman)

(opening riff)

Uh well the young man
Ain't got nothing in the world these days

(opening riff again)

I said the young man
ain't got nothing in the world these days

(opening riff one more time)

Uh well you know in the old days
when the young man was a strong man
All the people, they stepped back
when the young man walked by

(yet one more time...)

But you now nowadays
Its the old man, he's got all the money...
And the young man, they ain't got
nothing in the world these days, I say...

(one last rfiff and then on with the solo)

They ain't got nothing...
They got sweet fuck-all!!!

(solo)

In the old days...              *    Roger is basically
In the old days..               *    improvising (or ad-lib)
When the young man...   *    words (he's got to do
walked by...            *    something while the
They stepped BACK!      *    others are jamming!)
They stepped BACK!      *

(opening riff to end)

Nowadays if you're the young man
They ain't got nothing in the world these days, I say...
They ain't got nothing!
They got sweeeeeeeeeeet FUCK-ALL!!!!
