Intro 1

Verse 1
D
Sometime ago back on the east coast
C
In New York City, to be exact
G
A bunch of artists and painters and
Sculptors and musicians and
Poets and writers and dancers
And architects
D
G
Started feeling real superior
To their ego counter parts
G
They all got together and decided
They would show those
snotty surfer upstarts
A thing or two about the Big Apple
And they hired themselves a truck
D
It was a big spanking new
white-shiny
Peterbilt
G
With With With mud flaps, stereo,
TV, AM & FM radio,
D
G
Leather seats and a naugahide sleeper
All fresh
C
G
With new American Flag
decals and "ART ARK"
Printed on the side of the door
With solid 24 karat gold leaf type
And they filled up this truck
With the most significant piles
D
And influential heaps of Art Work
C
To ever be assembled in Modern Times,
G
And it sent it West no chide
Cajole, humble and humiliated
G
And this is the true story of that truck
A Truckload of Art
C
G
From New York City
D
Came rollin down the road
C
Yeah the driver was singing
G
And the sunset was pretty
But the truck turned over
D
G
And she rolled off the road
C
Yeah a Truckload of Art
G
Is burning near the highway
Precious objects are scattered
C
And it's a terrible sight
G
If a person were to see it
But there weren't nobody

Is burning near the highway

And it's raging far-out of of control

And their noble reviews

Have been stewed on the road
