Verse 1
E
A
E
I left Seattle runnin' late
It was rainin', rainin',
rainin' cats and dogs
The road was slick and full of little tricks
F#
B
Like walkin' on a slicky green log
B
E
I built a fire and let her whine
A
B
Blinding light, rainy night, jackknife,
Well I made that mountain,
A
E
went over the top
Had her rolled out all of the way
Went into a curve, that took all my nerve
F#
B
Then I felt that mountain sway
E
A
E
As that tandem shuddered and settled down
I heard a trailer go snap
A
E
There was no doubt I had to ride it out
B
E
Or let a jackknife in my lap
A
B
E
Blinding light, rainy night, jackknife,
A
E
A
E
jackknife
B
E
There's a lot of operators
So I said me a prayer, and then I hit the air
F#
B
and let her jackknife right off of that heel
E
A
E
Well, I crawled out of that pile of junk
and walked away with a smile
A
E
I got out with my life, good or mean,
B
E
jackknife has put me walking for a while
A
B
Blinding light, raining under
Jackknife, Jackknife, Jackknife, Jackknife...
