D D D D [Verse 1] D Well it must have been 'round 4.30 in the mornin' G The first sight of dawn creepin' over the horizon D Fifteen minutes from a Billinugel breakfast A I was rolling down highway one. [Verse 2] D And ya know what it's like up around the Northern rivers G Those windin' roads just give me the shivers D A D And to top it all off there's been a few points of rain. [Verse 3] D Well I've been stuck in low gear for what seems like forever G Climbin' up a steep hill with my diesel a-running D But the big ol' white was a fuel delight A And the best rig doin' the rounds [Verse 4] D But you know what it's like when you're tired and you're hungry G Everything that you do, well you do it in a hurry D A D Well, I got to the top an' I thought I'd just let her roll down.

[Verse 6] D Then my mind on a meal an' my hands on the wheel, G Then my eyes started seeing things that couldn't be real, D A D And the roadside posts started turnin' into six-foot blondes, D E N.C. SPOKEN & KEY CHANGE: You know what time it is then mates. Time for a stop. [Verse 6] E Well, I went to the brake like a drunk to the bottle, A But my foot missed the mark an' it landed on the throttle, E And the diesel roared an' I prayed to the Lord B7 To the Lord "Won't you gi' me a break." [Verse 7] E Oh, I guess he wasn't listenin' or he just didn't care, A Or maybe he was takin' forty winks up there E B7 E Cause soon I was riding a 22 wheel roller skate, [Verse 8] E Then the wheels left the road as far as I can remember, A I was roaring thru the bush like a shearer on a bender, E When the door opened up and who should get in? B7 A big red kangaroo [Verse 9] E He said, "G'day mate, what the hell d'ya think you're doin'? A Give us the wheel there, I'll get ya thru it." E B7 E Then he crashed thru the gears an' we missed another big ole dump, Oh yeah! [Verse 10] E* E* Well, around-a-bout here it kinda gets in a muddle, A* A* Though I seem to recall giving a koala a cuddle E* E* E an' a possum on my lap, An' a white cockatoo screamin', B7 "Give her a go, ya mug." [Verse 11] E Then when I awoke it was no damn joke, A E I was alone in the cab except for blokes of Billinugel, B7 N.C. B7 + Starin' in the window and sayin', "Are you alright mate?" B7 + B7 + I said, "Fellas give us a big mug of black coffee, B7 + A Billinugel special burger with the works, B7 + Because u know fellas, ya never gonna believe this." [Verse 1] N.C. E Well, it must-a been 'round 4.30 in the mornin', A The first light of dawn creepin' over the horizon, E Fifteen minutes from a Billinugel breakfast, B7 I was rollin' down highway one. [Verse 2] E And ya know what it's like Up around the Northern rivers A Those windin' roads just give me the shivers, E B7 E And to top it all up there's been a few points of rain.
