[Verse 1]
              C/G     D       
We were never fans of stock-car 
          Csus
races
Csus   C/G        D             
Though mesmerized by the roaring
          Am
 of those cars
Am         D                     
Out in the dark the sound echoed 
        Csus
off our skin
              C/G           D     
As we took to rooftop those 
         C/G   D
engines on the wind


[Chorus]
         C/G
Where we sang the songs of our 
fathers
     D
Shah-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
    Csus
And all the prayers of our mothers
        C/G                D
Dutiful daughters, dutiful sons
     Am                        Em
Shah-la-la goes the rattle and hum

         Csus                   C/G
From the hearth of a midwestern home
        D                      
Shah-la-la: that's the sound of 
                     Am  C/G
immortal Americans


[Verse 2]
C/G                              D
When children turn the radio on
Fists hit the air praising rock and 
Csus
roll gods
                       C/G         
From the soil they are formed, born
         D                  Am
 to grow corn and cut stone
                   Em              
They trade off the verses and they 
Csus             C/G
sing twin in the choruses
D
Babes of the Bible Belt

Maybe low-hanging fruit in the 
forest


[Chorus]
         C/G
But they sang the songs of our 
fathers
     D
Shah-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
    Csus
And all the prayers of their mothers
        C/G                D
Dutiful daughters, dutiful sons
        Am                     Em
Shah-la-la goes the rattle and hum
         Csus                   C/G
From the hearth of a midwestern home
        D                      
Shah-la-la: that's the sound of 
                    C/G
immortal Americans


[Verse 3]
Csus                  D
My friends turned the radio off
Csus                  D
Those holy hymns were no longer ours


[Chorus]
          C/G
Though we sang the songs of our 
fathers
N.C.
Shah-la-la, ooh-la-la-la
N.C
And all the prayers of our mothers
N.C.
Dutiful daughters, dutiful sons
        Am                     Em
Shah-la-la goes the rattle and hum
         Csus                   C/G
From the hearth of a midwestern home
        D                      
Shah-la-la: that's the sound of
