Now I?m a pretty big man around this town 
G                           D 
I got me the hottest little Chevy around

She got a yellow front fender and a gray one on the back

Sweet little ?66 
D                                        A             D 
I used to run her down on River Road and make a little dough 
      G                            D 
Can?t afford another ticket so I?m layin? kinda low

Now she ain?t too good on gasoline, she burns a little oil 
            G                       D 
But she was built by union labor on American soil 
A             D 
Sweet little ?66 
D                                    A       D 
So when your Subaru is over and your Honda?s history 
        G                                    D 
I?ll be blastin? down some back road with my baby next to me 
      A             D 
In my sweet little ?66
