Used Cars

D                                 
My sister's in the front seat with
    G         D
 an ice cream cone
My ma's in the black seat sittin' 
A    D
all alone
                             G     
As my pa steers her slow out of the
   D
 lot
      A                       
For a test drive down Michigan 
 D
Avenue
        D                    G    
Now, my ma, she fingers  her 
   D
wedding band
And watches the salesman stare at my
  A        D
 old man's hands
He's telling us all about the break 
     G      D
he'd give us
       A                  D
If he could, but he just can't
                 A                 
Well if I could, I swear I know 
   D
just what I'd do

Now, mister, the day the lottery I 
win
           D                       
I ain't ever gonna ride in no used 
 A    D
car again

                              G  
Now, the neighbors come from near 
      D
and far
                          A        
As we pull up in our brandnew used 
 D
car
                                 G 
I wish he'd just hit the gas and 
         D
let out a cry
                                A  
Tell `em all they can kiss our 
      D     | G | G | D | A |
asses goodbye

    D                              
My dad, he sweats the same job from
      G      D
 mornin' to morn
Me, I walk home on the same dirty 
              A      D
streets where I was born
Up the block I can hear my little 
                          G     
sister in the front seat blowin' 
      D
that horn
           A                       
The sounds echoin' all down 
   D
Michigan Avenue

      G
Now, mister, the day my numbers 
comes in
            D                      
I ain't ever gonna ride in no used 
 A    D
car again
