[Verse 1]
                        G
The night was black, the roads were icy
                 C                            G
Snow was falling, drifts were high

And I was weary, from my driving
                            D7         G
And I stopped to rest for awhile

I sat down at a truck stop
          C                            G
I was thinking about my past

[Chorus 1]
                                                     C
I've had a long streak of that bad luck
             G                D7         G7
But I'm praying it's gone at last

[Chorus 2]
G
Gone at last, gone at last
              C                   G
Gone at last, gone at last

                                          C
I had a long streak of bad luck
         G            D          G
But I pray it's gone at last

Ooo,oo,oo,oo,oo,oo...Ooo, oo, oo, oo, oo
C                    G          D                        G
(Walk up in G)

[Verse 2]

I ain't dumb

I kicked around some
            C           G
I don't fall too easily
                                              C
But that boy looked so dejected
             G                  D         G
He just grabbed my sympathy

Sweet little soul now, what's your problem?
             C                          G
Tell me why you're so downcast

[Chorus 1]
                                                     C
I've had a long streak of that bad luck
             G                D7         G7
But I'm praying it's gone at last

[Chorus 2]
G
Gone at last, gone at last

Gone at last, gone at last
              G
Gone at last, gone at last
                                          C
I had a long streak of bad luck
         G            D           G
But I pray it's gone at last

Oo,oo,oo

[Verse 3]

Once in a while from out of nowhere
                          C                                     G
When you don't expect it, and you're unprepared
                                                          C
Somebody will come and lift you higher
                G            D          G
And your burdens will be shared

Yes I do believe, if I hadn't met you
                        C            G
I might still be sinking fast

[Chorus 1]
                                                     C
I've had a long streak of that bad luck
             G                 D7        G7
But I'm praying it's gone at last

[Chorus 2]
G
Gone at last, gone at last

Gone at last, gone at last
              G
Gone at last, gone at last
                                          C
I had a long streak of bad luck
         G            D           G
But I pray it's gone at last

Oo,oo,oo
