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
(lovely electric guitar solo)
G D Em C
G
Yeah, the trucks came through
(lovely electric guitar solo continues)
G D Em C
G
Yeah, the trucks came through
