Dm G C G

[Verse 1]
     C               G
She weren't much to look at,
     C               F
She weren't much to ride
         Am        F
She was missing a window
        Dm         G
On her passenger side
     C              G
The floorboard was patched up
      C         F
With paper and tar
       Am         Dm
But I really was something
       G         C    G
In my old yellow car

[Verse 2]
     C       G
An American boy
          C             F
With his hands on the wheel
      Am             F
Of a dream that was made of
Dm         G
American steel
            C              G
Though the seats had the smell of
   C        F
A nickel cigar
   Am         Dm
I really was something
       G         C
In my old yellow car

[Chorus]
F               G      Am          F
Somewhere in a pile of rubber and steel
           Am        F           Dm    G
There's a rusty old shell of an automobile
        F             G       Am     F
And if engines could run on desire alone
      C          Dm           G          C    G    C   G
That old yellow car would be driving me home

[Verse 3]
             C               G
There's the seat where poor Billy
      C          F
Threw up in his date
           Am        F
And where Larry and Sandy
      Dm         G
Could no longer wait
          C            G
There was no road too winding
    C             F
And no where too far
     Am            Dm
With two bucks of gas
        G          C
And my old yellow car

[Chorus]
F               G      Am          F
Somewhere in a pile of rubber and steel
           Am        F           Dm    G
There's a rusty old shell of an automobile
        F             G       Am     F
And if engines could run on desire alone
      C          Dm           G          C    G    C   G
That old yellow car would be driving me home

[Verse 4]
        C         G
Take a look at me now
          C       F
Throwing money around
    Am          F
I'm paying somebody
    Dm            G
To drive me down town
       C        G
Got a Mercedes Benz
       C       F
With a TV and bar
           Am         Dm
And God I wish I was driving
    G          C  F
My old yellow car

[Outro]
      Am           Dm
God I wish I was driving
    G          C    G   F   G
My old yellow car
