Fast Car

Tabbed by: Bob Miller

Tuning: Standard - Capo on 2nd fret 
to play with the recording

After looking through the other 
versions on the site, there were a 
couple
of things missing that I wanted to 
submit, like a full intro tab and
the complete chords for the chorus.

INTRO:
 (C)   (G)        (Em)  (D)        (C)   (

VERSE Pattern:         *     @ (see notes below)
e|----------------|---------------
B|0h1-0-3---3-----|8---8-7---7----
G|0---0-0-----0---|0---0-0---0-0--
D|----------------|------0--------
A|3---------------|7--------------
E|------3---------|---------------

This pattern is slightly different 
than the intro, most noticeably

* - The note on the G string is 
often added during the verse, and at
 times the note on
B string feels like it is there but 
is soft.
@ - Again, the note on the G string 
is often there, but not always.

VERSE:

You’ve got a fast car, I want a 
ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal, maybe together
 we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better. Starting from 
zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we’ll make something, but me 
myself I got nothing to prove

INTERLUDE: (First four bars of the intro)

VERSE:
You got a fast car, and I got a plan
 to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience 
store
Managed to save just a little bit of
 money
We won’t have to drive too far, just
 cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs and 
finally see what it means to be 
living

INTERLUDE

VERSE:
You see my old man’s got a problem 
he live with the bottle
That’s the way it is
He says his body’s too old for 
working
I say his body’s too young to look 
like his
My mama went off and left him, she 
wanted more from life
Than he could give
I said somebody’s got to take care 
of him
So I quit school and that’s what I 
did

INTERLUDE

VERSE:
You got a fast car, but is it fast 
enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision, we leave 
tonight or live and die this way

INTERLUDE

CHORUS (chords defined at the end of
 this file)
'Cause I remember when we were 
C             CM7        C
driving, driving in your car
    G                Gadd9        
The speed so fast it felt like I 
   G
was drunk
Em                Em7            Em
  The city lights lay out before us
         Dsus4         D     
And your arm felt nice wrapped 
            Dsus4
'round my shoulder
    C* Em*     D            
And I    had a feeling that I 
Dsus2 D
belonged
    C* Em*     D               
And I   had a feeling I could 
Dsus2  D   C*          D*
be someone, be someone, be someone

INTERLUDE

VERSE:
You got a fast car and we go 
cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain’t got a job and I work
 in the market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better, 
you’ll find work and I’ll get 
promoted
We’ll move out of the shelter, buy a
 bigger house and live in the city

CHORUS

INTERLUDE

VERSE
You got a fast car, and I got a job 
that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the 
bar
See more of your friends than you do
 of your kids
I’d always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me 
would find it
I got not plans I ain’t going 
nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on 
driving

INTERLUDE

CHORUS

INTERLUDE

VERSE
You got a fast car But is it fast 
enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision You leave 
tonight or live and die this way
