[Intro]
C F Am
C F Am

[Verse 1]
C F    Am
Every morning, fighting through a coma
C F Am
Each affliction carries its misnomer
C F Am      F
Trucks roll loud into the port
C      F Am F
They go where I could never know

[Verse 2]
C F Am
My toes are freezing, cold cuts through the Persian
C F Am
Rug I’ve stolen, Dad thinks that I’ve borrowed
C F Am F
He gives more than I can pay back
C F Am F
Twenty-two, I’ll never pay him back

[Chorus]
C F
Oh, ashtray sitting on the table filled with dead moths
C
Floating in the rainwater with pill bags
F
It’s winter, south of the river without a job
C
Oh, I don’t see it getting any better
C F
C

[Verse 2]
C F Am
Empty bottles, if not for the burnt butts
C F Am
Falling over, wind in from the coast cuts
C F Am F
Hard and sharp, messes up my hair
C F Am F
Leaves fall, peppering the air

How to play Trucks: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Trucks by Spacey Jane on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Trucks by Spacey Jane is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 3 chords in all: C, F and Am.

The backbone of the song is C – F – Am – C (I – IV – vi – I in C major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, C, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 67% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
