The Last Drive In

G         C             G       
Caravan of yellow wire, and 
                D
crawling across the plains
 G                  C            
Rolling along in a single file, 
G                   C
like a slow moving train
 G               C             
It rumbled down out of the mist, 
   G                      D
into the early morning light
 G                       C    
Said they stay 'til the job was 
             G                
finished, if it took them 'til 
    C
midnight
 G                            
There were cats & scr*pers all 
  C             G                 
caterpillars, packed up by mile 
     D
high crane
 G                                
And it looked like monsters from 
C                 G              
the old b movies, the drive-ins 
      D
use to play


[Chorus]
               G               
And we'd sang good bye Saturday 
  C
under the stars
 G                               
Wake up little Suzy in my daddy's 
  D
car
 G                    C
So many memories got lost and found
 G                       C
When a piece of history hit the 
ground
 G                     C          
The day they tore the last 
   G
drive-in down

 G                     C          
Memories thick as the smoke clouds
             G                     
 they made, man and machine became 
 D
one
 G                              C 
Boards snapped like toothpicks on 
               G                   
their blades, but to us it sounded 
      C
like guns
 G                  C             
Cowboys, soldiers, gangsters, and 
          G                        
thieves, James Bond and his golden 
 D
girls
 G                                 
Well you could sit in your car and 
 C                          G     
never turn the key, and go half 
              C
way around the world
 G                              
And it stood like a landmark for 
  C                     G         
forty years, we never thought we'd
           D
 live to see
 G                               
It fall it to the ground and then 
       C               G   
just disappear, like so many 
              C
childhood dreams


[Chorus]
               G               
And we'd sang good bye Saturday 
  C
under the stars
 G                               
Wake up little Suzy in my daddy's 
  D
car
 G                    C
So many memories got lost and found
 G                       C
When a piece of history hit the 
ground
 G                     C          
The day they tore the last 
   G
drive-in down


[Bridge] - All on strum
 G                               
A lot of the drivers had tears in 
        C
their eyes,
 G                               
but I don't think it was just the 
  C
dust
 G                                 
See I still believe there's a 
            C                    
little piece of that old drive-in 
            G
left in all of us

 G                         C   
Nobody moved through what seemed 
                        G          
like hours, and slow motion it came
             D
 tumbling down
 G                                 
We just stood there with a taste of
               C            G     
 metal in our mouths and a silence
      C
 all around
                       D (One Strum)
 G (One Strum)
The day they tore the last drive-in 
down


[Chorus]
               G               
And we'd sang good bye Saturday 
  C
under the stars
 G                               
Wake up little Suzy in my daddy's 
  D
car
 G                    C
So many memories got lost and found
 G                       C
When a piece of history hit the 
ground
 G                     C          
The day they tore the last 
   G
drive-in down
