G                                C       G 
 Well, we were travelling on the Chester Road 
                       C    G 
A lorry driver picking up a load said 
                              C      G 
"Where you heading, boys? You need a ride?" 
                C 
We said, "We're heading down south" 
                G 
And we jumped inside 
 

 
         Am                 Em 
It was a good way to get to know you 
  Am                      Em 
A fine way to work it all out 
         Am                 Em 
It was a good way to get to know you 
           C                   G 
As we were making our way down south 
    D         C          G 
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, down south 
 

 
G                             C         G 
 The morning bus was where we two would meet 
                       C     G 
I sat beside you on an empty seat 
                            C        G 
We'd talk about guitars and rock and roll 
              C                              G   Em 
They were the subjects that would nver grow old 
 

 
         Am                 Em 
It was a good way to get to know you 
  Am                      Em 
A fine way to work it all out 
         Am                 Em 
It was a good way to get to know you 
          C                    G 
Before we learned to twist and shout 
    D         C 
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah 
          G 
Before we learned to twist and shout 
 

 
G                         C        G 
 The lorry went as far as he could go 
                            C    G 
And dropped us off beside a busy road 
                            C        G 
We had to find somewhere to stay the night 
       Am                      Em 
But we knew that we would be alright 
 

 
         Am                 Em 
It was a good way to get to know you 
  Am                      Em 
A fine way to work it all out 
         Am                 Em 
It was a good way to get to know you 
           C                   G 
As we were bombing around down south 
    D         C          G     Am Em Am Em 
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, down south 
         Am                 Em 
It was a good way to get to know you 
           C                   G
