G      D  Am   C        G
In a sixty-two Pontiac Bonneville
             C   D     C            G
Two young lovers went ridin´ up the hill
           D              C           G
They went hidin´ from the rest of the world
          D          C         G
Same old story ´bout boy meets girl
         Em                 C                  G
She had found the one that she´d been dreamin´ of
          Em              C               D
They made love that night under stars above

[Chorus]
                  G
In the back of a Pontiac
       C          G
In the back of a Pontiac
C      D         G
In the back of a Pontiac

[Verse]
        D             C                   G
She got pregnant that night and first she cried
           D           C                G
But Johnny kneeled and she became his bride
         D                 C                  G
Then them nine months went by in a wink of an eye
              D           C            G
And two weeks early they heard a first cry
          Em                C               G
They were speedin´ down the highway but too late
         Em              C                  D
She gave birth to a baby girl who would not wait

[Chorus]

In the back of a Pontiac
                 G      C
In the back of a Pontiac
       D         G
In the back of a Pontiac

[Verse]
         D             C               G
Well she grew up gracefully and in her teens
          D          C               G
She was a full grown beauty by all means
       D             C         G
Every weekend she borrowed the car
    D            C                      G
And Loaded with friends they were ridin' far
          Em               C           G
They were goin' 'round and makin' some noise
             Em             C           D
She was just havin' fun and kissin' the boys

[Verse]
     G                       Cm
On a Sunday mornin´ on their way back home
     G                   D
On a windin´ road came a Fleetwood Brougham
G            Cm
Way too fast around the bend
     G                         D
They screamed out loud as they saw the end
    G                     C
The radio was playin´ the Man in black
        G                      D
Then it all went quiet they're in the back
       C      G
Of the Pontiac
        Em          C                G
Well it all went so fast she felt no pain
       Em                     C                D
As she died that night in the cold and drivin´ rain

[Chorus]
                 G
In the back of a Pontiac
C                G
In the back of a Pontiac
C      D         G
In the back of a Pontiac
C      D         G
In the back of a Pontiac
C      D         G
In the back of a Pontiac
C      D         G
In the back of a Pontiac
C      D         G
