  			Capo II 
 
intro: 
 
F C G C 
 
     C                    
I stopped off at the Quicksack 
           G7         C 
For some beer and cigarettes 
     F               C 
The old man took my money 
                       G7 
As he stared at my Corvette 
     C                                     F 
He said, I had one just like her son, A 1963 
          C                G7              C 
'Til the man down at the bank took her from me 
 
Chorus: 
 
Oh, She was hotter than a two dollar pistol 
               F             C 
She was the fastest thing around 
  F                    C 
Long and lean every young man's dream she turned every head  
     G7 
in town 
         C 
She was built in from the handles son, 
                           F 
I'm glad that you dropped in 
        C              G7              C 
She reminds me of the one I loved back then 
 
Instrumental 
 
         C 
Then, I handed him my keys and said,  
 G7                 C 
Here take her for a spin, 
    F                     C 
The old man scratched his head, and said  
                             G7 
Then he looked at me and grinned 
         C                 
He said son you just don't understand  
                    F 
It ain't the car I want 
           C               G7                C 
It's the brunette in your 'vette that turns me on 
 
Chorus 
 
Chorus 
 
She reminds me of the one I loved back then...
