The Trucks Came Through

Em D C Em


[Verse 1]

     Em                            C
The dams had all run dry, empty clouds across the sky
          G                                     D
And the breeding stock had left, the paddocks bare
           Em                              C
There was dust across the land, we were feeding stock by hand
       G                              D
Just holdin' on and nothin' left to spare


[Chorus]

D         G                   D
And the trucks came through, one then two
          Em                         C
Then an army close behind, gettin' hope across the line
     G                 D
The big wheels roll, bales of gold
     Em                           C
An answer to a prayer to see 'em there
                   G
The trucks came through


[Instrumental]

G D Em C (ideally played on an electric guitar)


[Verse 2]
          Em                              C
From the big and little towns, from the north and from the south
   G                            D
Loaded up and givin' what they can
                 Em                         C
And they spent days out on the road, just haulin' in the load
      G                D
For mates we never we had


[Chorus]

D         G                   D
And the trucks came through, one then two
          Em                         C
Then an army close behind, gettin' hope across the line
     G                 D
The big wheels roll, bales of gold
     Em                           C
An answer to a prayer to see 'em there
                   G
The trucks came through


[Electric Guitar or Banjo solo]

G D Em C


[Bridge]

  Am
And when these days are done
 Bm7                 C
And the rivers run
             Cmaj7
We won't forget


[Chorus]

D         G                   D
And the trucks came through, one then two
          Em                         C
Then an army close behind, gettin' hope across the line
     G                 D
The big wheels roll, bales of gold
     Em                           C
An answer to a prayer to see 'em there
                   G
The trucks came through
