_ _ Mrs.
Smith had an old small [D#m] deal, baby blue with the wire [C#] wheels
I took her home the day that she was _
[G#] _ _ advertised
_ _ Said [C#] _ she'd leave me when it would rain
_ _ [D#m] Sounded like an [C#] airplane, but I knew she [G#m] was [A#m] a jewel in [C#] disguise
_ _ [G#] _ She [C#] had a _ _ _ _ _ 455, [D#m] _ _ _ a big splot of [C#]
life
Couldn't hardly wait just to take my [G#m] turn
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
Two men fall straight _ [F#]
away
She blew up a _ Chevrolet
[C#] _
She's a rocket, [D#m] _ she's [C#] made to burn
[G#] Said _ _ [C#] _
_ who's just piled a piece of [F#] _
_ Chevelle is this
Two [B] boys come [C#] in a race to just kiss
Don't you [G#] want to know what I got underneath my [F] [C#] hood
Yes I know she might sound like [D#m] she's missing
But it tick, tick, she will [C#]
last just a [G#] quarter mile
I'll [C#] smoke you good, [G#] good
_ In [C#] my _ _ _ _ _ 455 [D#m] _
rocket
_ Come ponies [C#] drive, you ain't afraid, come take [C] your turn
_ [A#m] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
Two men fall straight _ [D#m]
away
She blew up a [F#] _ [C#] Chevrolet _
She's a [G#] rocket, _ she's [C#]
made to _ [G#m] burn Burn!

_ Hit the curb and began to [F#] sail
Took out most of the safety [A#m] rail
[C#] _ As we skid I thought I heard the _
_ [G#] angels sing _ _ _
_ [C#] _ I'm telling you I ain't ashamed
[D#m] That I [F#] cried when [B] that record [C#] came
Even the [G#] cop asked me, he said, [C#] son what'd you have in that [G#] thing
Was [D#] it a _ _ [C#] _ _ _
455 [F#] rocket
_ Very [B] kind [G#] that [C#] drives, you ought to watch yourself when you [D#m] take [A#m] that _ turn
_ _ [C#] _ Two men fall straight [D#m] _ away
She blew up a _
[B] Chevrolet
[C#] _ She's a [G#m] rocket, _ she's [A#] made to [A#m] burn Burn!
_ _ _ _ She's a rocket, [G#] _
she's [D#] made to burn
