The Car Chords by Jeff Carson

[D] Take your hand.
[A] And make a big circle.
There you [Dm] go.
[G] There you go.
You're welcome.
[D] Thanks.
You sure spend a lot of time [A] working on that car, don't [G] they?.
Then you go around and around the whole hood.
Oh!.
[D] [G] [D] [A] .
[G] [D] [A] .
[G] [D] [A] [G] .
[D] Hey, Dad.
Hey, son.
[A] [G] .
[D] Boy, I love to have that car.
[G] I whisper to my dad.
You [D] ever afford a car like that?.
I've [A] always heard [G] of Mustang Flies.
[D] Hey, Dad, you want to throw a few?.
We [G] could fix it up [D] and make it new [A] again.
All [G] it [D] needs is just a little [A] time.
.
[D] Dad is hardly [A] ever home [G] since Mama passed away.
[D] He's always [A] working [G] overtime.
.
[D] I know [G] that he cannot [D] afford to buy [A] that car.
Even [G] though he'd love to [D] make it mine.
[A].
It's [Bm] not the car that [G] I need.
[D] Just a chance to be [A] with him.
I know [Bm] that once these days [G] roll past us, [D] they will never come [A] again.
[G] So little [D] time, and we [F#] spend way too much [Bm] of it.
[G] There would always be [D] a part of us [A] together in [D] that car.
[A] [G] .
[D] Finally let go of [A] that dream, [G] the time we could have shared.
[D] It was [A] a distant [G] memory.
.
[D] Until [G] last fall, a call [D] came to say Dad [A] was gone.
And like [G] a queen, he left a note [D] for me.
[A] .
[D] Buried Dad right next to Mama up on Crowley's [G] Ridge.
[D] There [A] I said my [G] last goodbye.
.
[D] I [G] opened up the note [D] and found a set [A] of keys.
[G] Here's your car, son.
I hope [D] it flies.
[A] .
[Bm] It's not the car that [G] you need.
[D] It is my chance to be [A] with you.
I [Bm] hope you understand [G] I always [D] did the best that [A] I could do.
[G] So [D] little time, and [F#] we spend way too [Bm] much of it.
[G] There will always [D] be a part of [A] us together [Bm] in that car.
[G] There will always be [D] a part of [A] us together [D] in that [N] car.
