[G]
[D]
The mechanic raised up from under [G] my hood and shook his head and said this ain't good.
[B] Timing belt's [A] done shrunk one [D] size too small.
Those spark plug wires are a little too long [G] and your main prod sponsor's nearly gone.
[B] Your ejector ports [A] are stripped and that [D] ain't all.
Torque converter's running low on torque and [G] that water pump's nearly down a quart.
[B] We caught it all in [A] time so you're in [D] luck.
He said I've got the time and I've got the parts.
[G] Just give me the word and I'm ready to start.
[B] I think we can bring [A] her in for [D] 800 bucks.
[G] But don't be [D] downhearted I [Bm] can fix [A] it for [D] you sonny.
[G] It won't [D] take too long [Bm] it'll [A] just take [D] money.
[Eb] He said aren't you that songwriter guy?
[Ab] I said yes I am.
He said so am I.
[C] He sat down and played me [Bb] a song by the grease [Ebm] rack.
[Eb] When he finished singing he gave me a smile [Ab] and I closed my eyes and pondered a while.
[C] He said what do you think?
[Bb] I don't hold nothing [Eb] back.
So I gave him my most sorrowful look and I [Ab] said this song's got a broken hook.
[C] I can order you a new one from [Bb] Nashville but it won't be [Eb] cheap.
And I know you've been using the cut rate for the sorry [Ab] because your adverbs are backed
up into [C] your chorus.
Now your verse is running [Bb] on verbs that are [Eb] way too weak.
[Ab] But don't be [Eb] downhearted I [Cm] can fix [Bb] it for [Eb] you sonny.
[Ab] It won't [Eb] take too long [Cm] it'll [Bb] just [Eb] take money.
[Em] [E] I said hold on friend I'm not through.
[A] I hate to be the one to give you this news [Dbm] but your whole maligned [B] structure doesn't
work [E] itself loose.
It's got so many dotted eighth notes in it I [A] keep her under 50 beats per minute.
[Db] I mean that's just me talking [B] it's really up to you.
[E] And you've got a bad safety problem [A] with that dominant chord with the augmented fifth.
[B] Just see how dangerously high it raises [E] you up.
So just go on over and work on my car and [A] I'll sit here by the fan and chances [Gbm] are [Db] I
can straighten this [B] thing out for a [E] 900 bucks.
[A] But don't be [E] downhearted I [Dbm] can fix [B] it for [E] you sonny.
[A] It won't [E] take too [B] [Dbm] long.
[B] You guessed [E] it.
[A] Well it may be a hit.
[Bm] I [B] like it.
[G] [E]
