Thirty Foot Trailer Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

CThe old ways are changing you F cannot deny

CThe day of the traveler's FovGer

 There'sAm nowhere to gang and there's C nowhere toF bide

 SoC farewell to the life of theF rovCer

CGoodbye to the tent and the F old cara G van

 ToAm the tinker, theC gypsy, theF traveling Gman

 AndG goodbye tae theC thirty footF trailFer

Farewell tae the cant and the traveling tongue

Farewell tae the Romany talking

The buying, the selling, the old fortune telling

The knock on the door and the hawking

You got to move fast to keep up with the times

For these days a man cannot dander

There's a bylaw to say you maun be on your way

And another to say ye can't wander

Farewell to the blossom and besoms of broom

Farewell tae the creels and the baskets

The folk of today would far rather pay

For a thing that is made oot o plastic

The old ways are passing and soon will be gone

And progress is aye a big factor

Its sent to afflict us and when they evict us

They tow us away wi a tractor

Farewell tae the pony, the cob, and the mare

The reins and the harness are idle

You don't need a strap when you're breaking up scrap

So farewell tae the bit and the bridle

Farewell tae the fields where we've sweated and toiled

At pulling and hauling and lifting

They'll soon have machines and the traveling queens

And their menfolk had better be shifting
