Dan Seals - My Old Yellow Car guitar chord

My Old Yellow Car

By Dan Seals

Capo 3

C G C F

She weren't much to look at, she weren't much to ride

Am F D G

She was missing a window on her passenger side

C G C F

The floorboard was patched up with paper and tar

Am F G C

But I really was something in my old yellow car

An American boy with his hands on the wheel

Of a dream that was made of American steel

Though the seats had the smell of a nickel cigar

I really was something in my old yellow car

Chorus:

F G Am F

Somewhere in a pile of rubber and steel

Am C D G

There's a rusty old shell of an automobile

F G Am F

And if engines could run on desire alone

C G C

That old yellow car would be driving me home

There's the spot where poor Billy threw up in his date

And where Larry and Sandy could no longer wait

There was no road too winding and no where too far

With two bucks of gas and my old yellow car

Chorus

Take a look at me now throwing money around

I'm paying somebody to drive me downtown

Got a Mercedes Benz with a TV and bar

And God I wish I was driving my old yellow car

God I wish I was driving my old yellow car
