Guitar chords Novice
GG It was painted red,D the stripe was whiteIt was e
Cighteen feet from the bow to the stern lightG Second hand from a dDealer in AtlantaI r
Code up with daddy when he went there to get 'erG Put on a shineD put on a motorBu
Cilt out of love and made for the waterG Ran her for years 'till the trDansom got rottenA p
Ciece of my childhood that'll nCever be forgottenIt was
G just an old plDywood boatWith a s
Ceventy-five Johnson with electric chokeG A young boy two hDands on the wheelC I can't replace the way it made me feelAnd I would
G turn her sharp and I'd mDake it wideAnd he'd
C say you can't beat the way an old wood boat ridesEm Just a little lake 'cross the AAlabama lineBut I was k
Cing of the oceanD when daddy let meG driveD C DG Just an old half-ton shDort bed FordMy
Cuncle bought new in sixty-fourD
Gaddy got it right 'cause the Dengine was smokin'C A couple of burnt valves and he had it goin'G He'd let me drive her and we'd hDaul off a loadDown a d
Cirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen roadI'd s
Git up in the seat and stretch my Dfeet out to the pedalsSm
Cilin' like a hero that just received his medalIt was
G just an old hDand-me-down FordWith a thr
Cee speed on the column and a dent in the doorG A young boy two hDands on the wheelC I can't replace the way it made me feelI would
G press that clutch and I'dD keep it rightAnd he'd say
C a little slower son you're doin' just fineEm Just a dirt road with trAash on each side but I was MCario AndrettiD When daddy let meG driveG D C D x2DG I'm grown up now three daDughters of my ownI l
Cet 'em drive my old jeep 'cross the pasture at our homeG Maybe one day they'll reDach back in their fileAnd p
Cull out that old mem'ry and Cthink of me and smileAnd say
G it was just an old wDorn out jeepR
Custy old floor boards hot on my feetG A young girl two hDands on the wheelC I can't replace the way it made me feelAnd he'd say
G turn it left and stDeer it rightStr
Caighten up girl now you're doin' just fineEm Just a little valley by the rAiver where we'd rideBut I was h
Cigh on a mountainD when daddy let meG driveD daddy let me drCive D oh he let meG driveD C DG She’s just an old plDywood boatWith a s
Ceventy-five Johnson with electric chokeG
