C G C F Am
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
