The Car Was The One
Intro: D C Em G x4
D
C
In summer '63 I was staying alive
Em D
hanging at the races, hoping to drive
C
When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars
Em G D
I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar
C
I'm up in the corner nursing a beer
Em D
who should come laughing and joking in here
C
but Bobby Brown, the winner of the sports car race
Em G D
with some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place
G A D
Bobby was a wild boy - one summer
G A D
he knocked down a motel wall with a hammer
G A D
He'd do anything - one night for a bet
G A D A
he raced through the cornfields in a Corvette
Em G D C Em G D
C
I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that
Em G D
with the beautiful girl and be king of the track
C
But the truth is when all was said and done
Em G D C
it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
Em G D C Em G
It was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
D C Em G
The car was the one
D C Em G
The car was the one
D C Em G x2
D
