Terry Allen - Truckload of Art

      
 
 This is my first tab, so here it goes... Great song by Terry Allen that I discovered
 listening to Cracker's cover.
 
 A                 
 A Truckload of Art
       D        A  
 From New York City
                       E   
 Came rollin' down the road
            D               
 Yeah the driver was singing
           A              
 And the sunset was pretty
 
 But the truck turned over
           E             A  
 And she rolled off the road
 
 D                      
 Yeah a Truckload of Art
       A                    
 is burning near the highway
 
 Precious objects are scattered
               E    
 All over the ground
              D           
 And it's a terrible sight
        A                  
 If a person were to see it
                    E      A    
 But there weren't nobody around
 
 (Yodel)
 
 A                           
 Yeah the driver went sailing
 D            A 
 High in the sky
                                 E  
 Landing in the gold lap of the Lord
       D                 
 Who smiled and then said
                A            
 "Son, you're better off dead
 
 Than haulin' a truckload
          E          A  
 full of hot avant-garde
 
 (chorus)
 
 A                          
 Yes... an important artwork
 D                               
 Was thrown burning to the ground
 A                              E  
 Tragically... landing in the weeds
 D                          
 And the smoke could be seen
           A              
 Ahhh for miles all around
                      E            A   
 Yeah but nobody... knows what it means
 
 D                        
 Yes... a Truckload of Art
       A                    
 Is burning near the highway
                                        E   
 And it's a tough job for the highway patrol
               D                
 Ahhh they'll soon see the smoke
          A             
 An come runnin' to poke
 
 Then dig a deep ditch
                 E         A  
 And throw them arts in a hole
 
 (Yodel)
 
 D                      
 Yeah a Truckload of Art
      A                     
 Is burning near the highway
                              E    
 And it's raging far-out of control
                D                 
 And what the critics have cheered
           A                 
 Is now shattered and queered
 
 And their noble reviews
             E            A  
 Have been stewed on the road
 
 (chorus)
