Tonart: F major•
Verse 1
F
Well I left Kentucky back in 49
And I went to Detroit
Bb
working on the assembly line
C
Gm
In the first year they had me
C
Gm
F
putting wheels on Cadillacs
And everyday I'd watch
Bb
hang my head and cry
C
Cause I always wanted me
Gm
F
one that was long and black
One day I devised myself a plan
Bb
That should be the envy of most any man
Cm
C
I'd sneak it out there
Gm
F
in a lunchbox in my hand
Now getting caught meant getting fired
Bb
But I figured I'd have it all
by the time I retired
Gm
F
with at least a hundred grand
I'll get it one piece at a time
Gm
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
Bb
And you know it's me
C
F
when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style,
Gm
gonna drive everybody wild
Bb
Cause I'll have the only
C
F
one there is around
So the very next day when I punched in
Bb
F
with my big lunchbox
B
and with help from my friend
C
I left that day with a lunchbox
Gm
F
full of gears
Now I never considered myself a thief
Bb
F
And Jim wouldn't miss just
one little piece
Bb
Cm
Gm
Especially if I strung it out
Cm
Gm
F
over several years
The first day I got me a fuel pump
Bb
And the nex t day I got me
an engine and a trunk
Cm
And then I got me a transmission
Gm
F
and all of the chrome
The little things I could get
out of my big lunchbox
Bb
Like the nuts and the bolts
and all four shocks
Cm
But the big stuff, we snuck out
F
of my buddy's mobile home
I'll give it one piece at a time
Gm
And it won't cost me a dime
Bb
And you know it's me
C
F
when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
Gm
Gonna drive everybody wild
Bb
Guess I'll have the only
C
F
one there is around
I'll hop to now, my plan went all right
Bb
And so we tried to put it all
together one night
C
And that's when we noticed
Gm
F
that something was definitely wrong
The transmission was a 53
Bb
and the mo tor turned out to be a 73
C
And when we tried to put in the bolts,
Gm
F
all the holes were gone
So we drilled it out so it would fit
Bb
And with a little bit of help of an adapter kit
Cm
We had that engine running
Now the headlights was another side
Bb
We had two on the left
and one on the right
Cm
But when you pull out the switch,
F
all three of them come down
I'll get it one piece at a time
Gm
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
Bb
And you'll know it's me
C
F
when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
Gm
Gonna drive everybody wild
Bb
Cause I'll have the only
C
F
one there is around
The back end looked kinda funny too
Bb
But we put it together
and when we got through
C
Well, that's when we noticed
Gm
F
that we only had one tail fin
About that time my wife walked out
Bb
And I could see her eyes,
that she had her doubts
Cm
But she opened the door
and said
C
F
Honey, take me for a spin
So we drove uptown just to get the tags
Bb
And I hit her right down on the main drag
Cm
And I could hear everybody laughing
But up there at the courthouse,
they didn't laugh
Bb
Of course, to top it out,
it took the whole set
Cm
When they got through the tunnel
I'll give everyone a piece of the time
Gm
I don't want to cause me a doubt
Bb
And you know it's me
C
F
when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
Gm
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
Bb
C
Cause I'll have the only one there
