Automatic
guitar chords lyrics
I'm English and struggle to understand the accent sometimes, so I'm expecting there to
be a few lyric mistakes in here! I'll correct them as soon as I know what they are!
Capo 5
Intro: C F Am F x2
C
Quarter in a payphone
Drying laundry on the line
Bb
Watching sun tea in the window
F
Pocket watch for telling time
C
Seems like only yesterday
I'd get a blank cassette
Bb
Record the Country Countdown
F
'Cos I couldn't buy it yet
C F
C
If we drove all the way to Dallas
Just to buy an Easter dress
Bb
We'd take along a Rand McNally
F
Stand in line to pay for gas
C
God knows that shifting gears
Ain't what it used to be
Bb
I learned to drive that '55
F
Just like a Queen three on the trip
C F
Hey whatever happened to
Am
Waiting your turn
F
Doing it all by hand
C F
'Cos when everything is handed to you
Am F
It's only worth as much as the time you put in
Bb F
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Bb F C
Back before everything became, Automatic
F Am F
C
If you had something to say
You'd write in on a piece of paper
Bb
And you'd put a stamp on it
F
And they'd get it three days later
C
Boys would call the girls
And girls would turn them down
Bb
Staying married was the only way
F
To work your problems out
C F
Hey whatever happened to
Am
Waiting your turn
F
Doing it all by hand
C F
'Cos when everything is handed to you
Am F
It's only worth as much as the time you put in
Bb F
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Bb F C F
Am F
Back before everything became, Automatic, yeah
C F Am F
Automatic
C
Lets's roll the windows down
Windows with the cranks
Bb
Come on let's take a picture
F
The kind you gotta shake
C F
Hey whatever happened to
Am
Waiting your turn
F
Doing it all by hand
C F
'Cos when everything is handed to you
Am F
It's only worth as much as the time you put in
Bb F
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Bb F C F

Back before everything became, Automatic, yeah
