[B] [Gb]
[B] We're
[Abm]
[Gb] always thirsty, hit the lot and wait
To the [B] man in blue
It's just [Gb] so early in the morning
The grass is all covered [Abm] with
Duran [Db] Duran, that Duran Duran
[E] She's turning on the radio dial
We can sit and listen [A] for a while
[Gb] She looks so pretty
The [Ab] girls take the way the guys get all wiped out
And their feet in the air, you can hear them shout
They're not as lonely
Don't back [Db] down, don't back down
[Ab] Don't back down, don't back down
They quit [Eb] their tea
They go back [E]

[A] [B] [F]
Every time I have a date there's only one place to go
That's [Dm] to the drive-in
It's such [F] a groovy place to talk and maybe watch a show
Down [C] at the drive-in
[Bb] Forget about the plot, it'll do very well
But [F] make sure you see enough so [D] you're prepared to tell
[Bb] About the drive-in
[C] Out of [F] the drive-in
They love the drive-in
If the windows get [C] foggy you'll have to tell
You to my [F] baby
You to my [Ab] baby My [C] baby
They'd be [F] kind by now [G] to treat us [C] all the same
But all [F] in the [G] rhythm of [C] the beat
And when I get [D] her alone now
You know we're [G] as happy as a couple [Em] can be
[Am] And when I give [D] her my love
It's between her [G] and me
[E]
[Am] She's my girl [D] and I'm good to my [G] baby
