Ok i dont know the complete tabs for the song, but here are the chords that *I* piked up.

INTRO: E

A

Well you heard about the Legend of Jesse James,

E

And John Henry just to mention some names,

A

But there's a truck driving legend in the south today,

RIFF 1

A man called bandit from atlanta, GA

A

Every Gear Jammer knows his name,

E

They swear he's got eyes, got it runnin' in his veins,

A A (one hard strum)

With a boot like? lip and nerves like steel,

He's gonna go to glory ridin' 18 wheels.

RIFF 2

E

Well he left atlanta back in '63,

A

Haulin' him a load up to tennesse,

E

He hit monteagle and he'd drive in rain,

RIFF3

So hard he couldnt' even see the passing lane,

E

Well he started down the grade when he lost a gear,

A

He hit them brakes, found he had no air

E

The monteagle grade is steep and long,

RIFF 3

And everybody that seen had thought the bandit was gone,

RIFF 2

E

Well the truck jack-knifed, turned completely round

A

He was comin' down backwards about the speed of sound

E

Alot of folks seen him, and they all say

RIFF 3

He had his head out the window yelling "clear the way!"

E

Well he got to the bottom, safe and sound

A

Everybody asked bandit how he made it down

E

He said folks when the truck picks up too much speed

RIFF 3

I just run along beside it and drug my feet
