        G 
Well, I pour myself behind to wheel 
    C 
Too tired to think and too numb to feel 
G                         D 
and hear that 350 whining low 
G 
all I need is an open road and some 
C 
Johnny Cash on the stereo 
G                   D           G 
and things ain't as bad as they seem 
C        D       G     G/F#  Em  
Nineteen Seventy Monte Carlo Chevrolet 
  C               D                 G 
I swear sometimes you were my only friend  
     G 
"Get rhythm" blasting from the dash 
     C 
in a cloud of smoke and cigarette ash 
G                                 D  
But that old girl starts up every time 
    G 
And any time that I'm feelin' low  
          C 
I got the Man in Black on my stereo 
    G             D           G  
and that brings a smile to my face 
C        D       G     G/F#  Em  
Nineteen Seventy Monte Carlo Chevrolet 
  C               D                 G 
I swear sometimes you were my only friend 
       C         D 
with a headliner ripped and torn 
G         G/F#       Em 
just like me she's a little worn 
C                    D            G 
but you could always see me home again 
Bridge: 
D                        C 
I ain't braggin but that girl can really roll 
C                                  D 
she's never left me busted flat or standing in the cold
