Gasoline

chorus: F G, F C Bb, Am G


I like to perform the song with a rhythmic strum, so I prefer standard tuning.  I use barr 
chords all the way
through except for the E chord.  Here is my version:

verse – G#m F# x 3, e F#
chorus – E F#, E B A F#, G#m F#

PS Chords appear over the word indicating when to strum.

1st Verse:

G#m
Hands glued to the steering wheel,
F#
smack between a ledge straight down
      G#m                              F#
and a wall of spruce as thick as thieves.
       G#m
And as sure as a sharp corner comes
  F#
a jack-knife kind of creepiness,
      G#m           F#
sweeps up and over me.



Chorus:
       E               G#m
Oh gasoline don’t leak out on me,
             E                            B
two thousand miles left to go a brand new name,
A                       E
haircut, hell make me a blond
                  G#m                F#
if it’ll blend me in, it’ll blend me in.

G#m
“lovely weather for an April day,
  F#
I just came through Saskatchewan
        G#m                               F#
from as south as you can drive before you drop.”
     G#m
Said he just planned on passing through,
            F#
but that he didn’t know he’d crash into
    E                         F#
tarnation pouring coffee at a lonely old truck…stop.


Chorus (same as above, same everytime)


E
Down it goes from there on in,
      G#m
I’m a sucker for attention when
   E                             G#m
it revs up to me wheeling like a screech.

    G#m
But by degrees his grip got tight,
   F#
suspicion turned his knuckles white,
       E                F#              E
had to drive them in my face to find relief.


solo :
C#m, B, C#m, B, E, F#
C#m, B, E, E, E, F#

C#m                           B
Where I found the muster is a mystery best left
   C#m                             E
in apartments found deserted and a semi-trailer theft.
          E
Where you ended I’ll pick up,
        G#m
onwards to Tuktoyaktuk,
         E                              F#
about as north as you can go before you drop.
