Athens Grease

A
If you're headin' south on Georgia 
one twenty-nine
Straight into Athens past the Clark 
County line
            E                      
There's an old Texaco right across 
                      A
from the Athens Woolworth
A
Billy Joe Taylor's underneath that 
lift
There ain't a car on the planet that
 he can't fix
     E                        
He swears on his chrome-plated 
                            A
ratchet that his heaven on earth

[Chorus]
              D
Well, he can make a rusty muffler 
purr like a kitten
      A
Or an old Nash Rambler top out at 
one-fifty
           E
Georgia's never seen a man more at 
peace

           D
Than when Billy's got his hands in
Athen's Grease

[Verse 2]
A
Six days a week, he's a man on a 
mission
He's the redneck Picasso of the 
manual transmission
         E                      
And the only man in town who can 
                            A
make Charlie Vincent's van go
A
When the sun goes down and the day 
is endin'
Billy's still rockin' with a rack 
and pinion
E                              
Long as that boy's at work, well 
                 A
he's right at home

[Bridge]
             E
Well, he's a rotatin,' lug nuttin,'
D                       A
Spark pluggin' good ole boy
With his name on his shirt
           E                      
And Thelma Lou Taylor likes to hang 
D
out at the station
           E
'Cause she loves to watch him work
Back to Chorus
After Chorus
                 E
Yeah, Georgia's never seen a man 
more at peace
           D
Than when Billy's got his hands in
Athen's Grease
Athen's grease, baby
