"Rusty Old American Dream"

6 = C 3 = G
5 = G 2 = C
4 = C 1 = E
[capo II]
C F+2 C
Well I don't look all that ragged for all the time it's been.
Gsus4
But I'm weakened underneath me where my frame is rusted thin.
C F+2 C
And this year's state inspection I just barely passed.
Gsus4 C
Won't you drive me 'cross the country, boy this year could be my last.
F+2 C
I'm a tail-finned road locomotive
Gsus4 C
From the days of cheap gasoline.
F+2 C Am7
I'm for sale by the side of the road going nowhere,
F+2 Gsus4 C
A rusty old American dream.
F+2 C
I rolled off the line in Detroit back in nineteen fifty-eight.
Gsus4
Spent three days in the showroom, that's all I had to wait.
C F+2 C
I've been good to all who owned me, so have no fear.
Gsus4 C
C'mon boy, put your money down and get me outta here.
F+2 C
I'm a tail-finned road locomotive
Gsus4 C
From the days of cheap gasoline.
F+2 C Am7
I'm for sale by the side of the road going nowhere,
F+2 Gsus4 C
A rusty old American dream.
(C)
Now this car needs a young man to own him.
F+2
One who will polish the chrome.
C Am7
I will give you the rest of my lifetime
F+2 Gsus4
B'don't let me die here alone.
[capo III]
C
Ya just jump me some juice to my ba'ttry.
F+2
Give that old starter a spin.
C Am7
Hear me whirr, sputter, backfire through the carburetor
F+2 Gsus4 C
And roar into life once again.
F+2 C
I am a tail-finned road locomotive
Gsus4 C
You can polish my chrome so clean.
F+2 C Am7
We can fly off into the sunset together,
F+2 Gsus4 C Am7
Rusty old American dream - still runnin'
F+2 Gsus4 C*
Rusty old American dream.
