A5
A Truckload of Art
      D5        A5
From New York City
                      E5
Came rollin' down the road
           D5
Yeah the driver was singing
          A5
And the sunset was pretty

But the truck turned over
          E5             A5
And she rolled off the road

D5
Yeah a Truckload of Art
      A5
is burning near the highway

Precious objects are scattered
              E5
All over the ground
             D5
And it's a terrible sight
       A5
If a person were to see it
                   E5      A5
But there weren't nobody around

(Yodel)

A5
Yeah the driver went sailing
D5            A5
High in the sky
                                E5
Landing in the gold lap of the Lord
      D5
Who smiled and then said
               A5
"Son, you're better off dead

Than haulin' a truckload
         E5          A5
full of hot avant-garde

(chorus)

A5
Yes... an important artwork
D5
Was thrown burning to the ground
A5                              E5
Tragically... landing in the weeds
D5
And the smoke could be seen
          A5
Ahhh for miles all around
                     E5            A5
Yeah but nobody... knows what it means

D5
Yes... a Truckload of Art
      A5
Is burning near the highway
                                       E5
And it's a tough job for the highway patrol
              D5
Ahhh they'll soon see the smoke
         A5
An come runnin' to poke

Then dig a deep ditch
                E5         A5
And throw them arts in a hole

(Yodel)

D5
Yeah a Truckload of Art
     A5
Is burning near the highway
                             E5
And it's raging far-out of control
               D5
And what the critics have cheered
          A5
Is now shattered and queered

And their noble reviews
            E5            A5
Have been stewed on the road

(chorus)
