This is my first tab, so here it goes... Great song by Terry Allen that I discovered 
listening to Cracker's cover.

AA (x02220@1)Truckload of Art
      D (xx0232@1)      AFrom (x02220@1)New York City
                      ECame (022100@1)rollin' down the road
           DYeah (xx0232@1)the driver was singing
          AAnd (x02220@1)the sunset was pretty

But the truck turned over
          E (022100@1)           AAnd (x02220@1)she rolled off the road

DYeah (xx0232@1)a Truckload of Art
      Ais (x02220@1)burning near the highway

Precious objects are scattered
              EAll (022100@1)over the ground
             DAnd (xx0232@1)it's a terrible sight
       AIf (x02220@1)a person were to see it
                   E (022100@1)    ABut (x02220@1)there weren't nobody around

(Yodel)

AYeah (x02220@1)the driver went sailing
D (xx0232@1)          AHigh (x02220@1)in the sky
                                ELanding (022100@1)in the gold lap of the Lord
      DWho (xx0232@1)smiled and then said
               A"Son, (x02220@1)you're better off dead

Than haulin' a truckload
         E (022100@1)        Afull (x02220@1)of hot avant-garde

(chorus)

AYes... (x02220@1)an important artwork
DWas (xx0232@1)thrown burning to the ground
A (x02220@1)                            ETragically... (022100@1)landing in the weeds
DAnd (xx0232@1)the smoke could be seen
          AAhhh (x02220@1)for miles all around
                     E (022100@1)          AYeah (x02220@1)but nobody... knows what it means

DYes... (xx0232@1)a Truckload of Art
      AIs (x02220@1)burning near the highway
                                       EAnd (022100@1)it's a tough job for the highway patrol
              DAhhh (xx0232@1)they'll soon see the smoke
         AAn (x02220@1)come runnin' to poke

Then dig a deep ditch
                E (022100@1)       AAnd (x02220@1)throw them arts in a hole

(Yodel)

DYeah (xx0232@1)a Truckload of Art
     AIs (x02220@1)burning near the highway
                             EAnd (022100@1)it's raging far-out of control
               DAnd (xx0232@1)what the critics have cheered
          AIs (x02220@1)now shattered and queered

And their noble reviews
            E (022100@1)          AHave (x02220@1)been stewed on the road

(chorus)
