Red Ragtop

G, G, Am, Am

[Verse 1]
G                G               
I was twenty and she was 
          Am                    Am
eighteen. We were just about as wild
 as we were
             G                  G 
green in the ways of the world
    Am     Am

    G                    G        
She picked me up in that red 
           Am                    
ragtop. We were free of the folks 
Am
and hiding
                   G           
from the cops on a summer night, 
G                 Am            Am
running all the red lights
     G                 G
We'd park way out in a clearing in a
 grove
        Am                   
And the night was as hot as a 
 Am
coal-burning stove
        G               G         
We were cooking with gas. knew it 
Am           Am
had to last

[Chorus]
                    C   G  Am  Am
In the back of that red ragtop
         C      G     Am    Am  
She said please don't stop
Am  Am


[Verse 2]
         G                   G
Well the very first time her mother 
met me

    Am                        
Her green-eyed girl had been a 
 Am               G            G  
mother-to-be for two weeks
 Am   Am

      G              G
I was out of job and she was in 
school
    Am                    Am
And life was fast and the world was 
cruel
        G             G           
We were young and wild. We decided
        Am             Am
 not to have the child
      G                      G
So we did what we did and we tried 
to forget
       Am                          
And we swore up and down there 
  Am
would be no regrets
       G             G            
In the morning light,  but on the 
    Am              Am
way home that night

[Chorus 2]
                    C   G  Am  Am
On the back of that red ragtop
         C      G      Am  Am    
She said please don't stop loving
 C  G  Am  Am
 me

[Verse 3]
        C        G       Am      Am
We took one more trip around the sun
           C        G              
But it was all make believe in the 
Am    Am
end
         C         G         
And no I can't say where she is 
Am    Am
today
        C              G        
I can't remember who I was back 
Am   Am  C  C  Am  Am
then
G  G  Am  Am
         G                      G
Well you do what you do and you pay 
for your sins
            Am                    
And there's no such thing as what 
Am
might have been
         G            G           
That's a waste of time, Drive you 
Am               Am
out of your mind
      G                      G
I was stopped at a red light just 
yesterday
   Am                    Am
Beside a young girl in a cabriolet
        G              G          
And her eyes were green. And I was
       Am        Am
 in an old scene

[Otro] (x2)
                   C   G  Am  Am
I was back in that red ragtop
       C   G   Am   Am
On the day she stopped loving me
C  G  Am  Am
