INTRO
[A6] [F#] (x2)
VERSE 1
[A6] The morning’s broken and her [F#maj7] ticket waits
[A6] The hazy purple shimmer [F#maj7] looks so [Ebm7] great
And the [Bbm7] road’s so [F#7] smooth
Recently [Bmaj7] laid and it’s [Bb] hard [A] ly [Ab] used
VERSE 2
[A6] Now country music at this [F#maj7] time of day
[A6] Can make the future seem so [F#maj7] far a [Ebm7] way
Though the [Bbm7] trade was [F#7] slow
The cabby knew [Bbmaj7] more than he [Bb] let [A] her [Ab] know
CHORUS 1

Nobody [Em7] wants to [D6] watch the track go [Cmaj7] by [D] [Cmaj7] [D]
CHORUS 2
[A6] The trucks are waiting in the [F#maj7] loading bay
[A6] It’s gonna be another [F#maj7] busy [Ebm7] day
In the [Bbm7] Middle [F#7] East
She fixes her [Bbmaj7] hair, in a [Bb] ho [A] tel [Ab] suite
CHORUS 1
[G] So [D] she [G] said, this conver [Bm7] sation’s [Cmaj7] dead
Nobody [Em7] wants to [D6] watch the track go [Cmaj7] by [D] [Cmaj7] [D]
CHORUS 2
[G] So [D] up [G] set, picked up the [Bm7] ciga [Cmaj7] rette
Nobody [Em7] wants to [D6] watch the track go [Cmaj7] by [D] [Cmaj7] [D] [Cmaj7] [D] [Cmaj7] [D]
