Car Song

G C G C


[Verse 1]
        G                       
Now you rest amongst the rust of 
                Cadd9
these roadside monuments.
   G
In all their former glories
             Cadd9
The drive in nights that came and 
went.
     Em
You fought on hard through rain 
beaten nights
             D
Out past the shadows of state lines
            Cadd9
Now this victory dance, it belongs 
to you and I.

G D Em Cadd9


[Verse 2]
G                              
Ashtray serenade on these Indian 
         Cadd9
summer nights.
    G
Out past the cold dark desert towns
          Cadd9
Under the neon veiled starlight.
   Em
We crossed the Mason-Dixon
          D
Sang with pastures gold and green
     Cadd9
Now darlin’ won’t you come on home 
to me.


[Chorus 1]
      G                         D
I was born in the blizzard of 1977
  Em                           
A southpaw heart with eyes that 
            Cadd9
burned California.

       G
Lay me down under the night
        D
Under a veil of the pale starlight
      Em                         
These Midwest kids got nothin' on 
     Cadd9
California.

G D Em Cadd9


[Verse 3]
    G
The winter sky is weeping
         Cadd9
The factories lie in their graves
     G
Like Cold War artifacts
         Cadd9
Marching in some ghost parade
   Em                           
We watched these streets of fire 
          D
fall and crumble into the sea
    Cadd9
Now darlin' won’t you come on home 
to me.


[Chorus 2]
      G                         D
I was born in the blizzard of 1977
  Em                            
A car crash heart with eyes that 
            Cadd9
burned California.
       G
Lay me down under the night
        D
Under a veil of the pale starlight
      Em                         
These Midwest girls got nothin on 
     C
California.


[Bridge]

After all the tears I cried for you

All the times I tried to let you go
       G
Lay me down beneath the night
          D
Under the sadness of this life

Darlin take me home, won’t you take 
me home?

Now you rest amongst the rust of

   G
In all your former sadness

The neon nights that came and went.
