      Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses 








A                             Dmaj7
Charlie's got a gold watch don't seem like a whole lot
      E                     D                  A
After thirty years of drivin' up and down the interstate
    A                           Dmaj7
But Charlie's had a good life and Charlie's got a good wife
    Bm                      D                   E
And after tonight she'll no longer countin' the days
 
E        D                  A
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
         F#m           B        E
Ten more miles on his four day run
           D                      F#m D
A few more songs on the all night radio
          A                     D
And he'll spend the rest of his life
         E           A     Aadd9
With the one that he loves
 
        A                   Dmaj7
They'll buy a Winnebago set out to find America
E                       D            A
Do a Lotta catchin' up a little at a time
A                                    Dmaj7
With pieces of the old dream they're gonna light the old flame
Bm                             D                  E
Doin' what they please leavin' every other reason behind
 
E        D                  A
Eighteen wheels and a dozen roses
         F#m          B        E
Ten more miles on his four day run
           D                     f#m  D
A few more songs on the all night radio
          A                     D
