Mighty Trucks of Midnight Bruce Cockburn

(Capo on the 3rd fret for original key)

[INTRO] Am Em Am Em Am Em D Em
 

[Verse]

Am                                         Em

Used to have a town but the factory moved away  

Am Em
Down to Mexico where they work for hardly any pay  

Am                                               Em

Used to have a country but they sold it down the river  

          D                                          Em

Like a repossessed farm auctioned off to the highest bidder  

[Chorus]

G                                Em   D               Em

Mighty trucks of midnight moving on...       ....Moving on

G                                Em     D               Em

Mighty trucks of midnight moving on...       ....Moving on

 

[Verse]

Am                                                     Em

Wave a flag, wave the bible, wave your sex or your business degree

Am                                               Em

Whatever you want -- but don't wave that thing at me

    Am                                 Em

The tide of love can leave your prizes scattered

             D                                          Em

But when you get to the bottom it's the only thing that matters

 

[Chorus]

G                                Em   D               Em
