8 Miles A Gallon by Scott Miller chords
Start Jamming...
[E] I hope lots [B] of them.
[G]
The old bull, he was old and I gave him every chance I could.
Played with Barry [D] White and had mixers.
I [G] did everything I could for that [E] cow.
Anyway, switching gears here totally.
This is [Em] a song called Eight Cows a Gallon.
Here we go.
[Bm] Well [Em]
[E] [Em]
[Bm]
[Em]
[Bm] [Em]
the Ford 460 gets a ninja pretty mean
Shippin' out boats [A] and pissin' gasoline
[Em] Seven and a quarter tons of pure [Bm] mule
Pile down the road [Em] at eight miles a gallon
Well you hear the hammer lean and messy
He's [A] a two [E]-floor and you see him eatin' crack
[A] [Em] Stopped pouring hard to hear the 20
When they [A] hit him down the [Em] paddle
Pile down the road at eight miles a gallon
[E] [B]
[E] [A] [Em]
[A] [Em]
[A] [E] [A]
[E] [A] [Em]
[A] [E] Boys all the poor dips need fightin'
Foreign need democracy and gasoline
A bottle of rock and roll and a brain
Every day that you can make it through the paddles
So I don't feel so guilty about eight miles a gallon
So I'm a fan of big [A] engines
Make it run on [Em] bullshit
Put it on the highway
Buddy you could never [E] quit
Fan of big [A] engines
Make it run on bullshit
[E] Put it on the [Em] train track
Buddy you could never quit
Fan of big [A] engines
Make it run on [E] bullshit
Put it on the [A] chassis
Buddy you could never [E] quit
Fan of big engines
[A] Make it [Em] run on bullshit
Put it on the highway
[A] Buddy you could [Em] never quit
The Arden group, the House of Sod
They all been eatin' [A] shovels
Said they could have a job
[E] I'm an even happier
In [A] the shed than [D] going [Em] rally
Pile down the road at eight miles a gallon
[E]
[G]
[A] One of the many songs I wrote for Sugar Hill
And I don't know why they couldn't get me on the radio
[E]
