Tom: Am
C Am
The engine splutters to a grinding halt
F C
I’m not the man to diagnose the
G
fault
C Am
Look to the sky, I cry ‘for heavens sake,
F C
Please not today, I’ve got a flight
G
to make’
C Am
I miss my flight and I will miss my
train
F C
I miss my train I’m in a world of
G
pain
C Am
And as I sit and watch the minutes tick
F
The truth it hits me like a bag of
G
bricks
[Chorus]
Am C G
I put unleaded in my diesel vehicle
Dm
On the hard shoulder for the near
Am
foreseeable
C G Dm
Easy mistake mate, anyone can make mate
Am ~
I put unleaded in my diesel vehicle
[Verse 2]
C Am
And as I pulled into the petrol
station
F
I must have had a lapse in
C G
concentration
C Am
My mind it drifted as I pumped that fuel
F C
My mind was filled up with the thought
G
of you
[Chorus]
Am C G
I put unleaded in my diesel vehicle
Dm
On the hard shoulder for the near
Am
foreseeable
C G Dm
Easy mistake mate, anyone can make mate
Am ~
I put unleaded in my diesel vehicle
[Key Change:A] (I used barre chords for this, but you can play around with open chords if you like)
A E G D
And we wait for the rescue
A E G D
And we wait for the rescue
[Bridge Key Change:C]
C Am
On the hard shoulder I got time to think
F
About heading nowhere full of
C G
poisoned drink
C Am
Analogies they are a little thin, as
F C G
I sip another nip of gin
[Chorus]
Am C G
I put unleaded in my diesel vehicle
Dm
On the hard shoulder for the near
Am
foreseeable
C G Dm
Easy mistake mate, anyone can make mate
Am
I put unleaded in my diesel vehicle
C G Dm
Easy mistake mate, anyone can make mate
Am ~
I put unleaded in my diesel vehicle
