Aaron Watson - 3rd Gear & 17 guitar chord

C

I held the keys to that old Chevrolet

D G

And you held the keys to my heart

C

I'd throw a fit, hit the dash, get out and kick the tire

D G

When that old piece of junk wouldn't start

C

It'd be smokin good, I'd slam down the hood

D G

Just to see you there laughin at me

C

On the other side of a dirty windshield

D G

Lookin as pretty as you could be

(Chorus)

Am Em

We sure saw a lot of miles

D G

Never even crossed that county line

Am Em

I would've bet the farm, gave my right arm

C G

So you'd always be mine

Am

Did we crash and burn

Em

Or make a wrong turn

D G

Or run out of gasoline

Am D C

I lost you around 3rd gear and 17

In the blink of an eye high school flew by

You went your way and I went mine

But we swore we'd make it our love could take it

400 miles could stand the test of time

I left that fall to play college ball

But my dreams would all come to an end

Cuz you know the big leagues never called

And you went and fell in love with him

(Chorus)

D Am

Memories flash through my mind like old faded photographs

C

I still think about you in that red Malibu

D G

And I just can't help but laugh

(Chorus)

This one might not be 100% so don't kill me if it's off
