455 ROCKET by Kathy Mattea
Intro: D D D D
D
Mr. Smith had an Oldsmobile
G
Baby blue with wire wheels
D A7
He took her home the day that she was advertised
D
He said she leaked when it would rain
G
Sounded like an aeroplane
D A7 D
But I knew she was a jewel in disguise
A7 D G
She had a 455 Rocket
The biggest block alive
D A7
I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn
D
She was made for the straight aways
G
She grew up hatin' Chevrolets
D A7
She's a rocket, she was made to burn
D
Well whose junkpile piece of Chevelle is this?
G
Did you Boys come here to race or just kiss?
D A7
Hmmm Don't you want to know what I got underneath my hood?
D
I know she might sound like she's missing
G
But buddy, she could teach you a lesson
D A7 D
In just a quarter mile, and I'll smoke you good
A7 D G
In my 455 rocket
The kind the police drive
D A7
I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn
D
She was made for the straight aways
G
She grew up hatin' Chevrolets
D A7 D
She's a rocket, she was made to burn
Interlude: D D G G D A7 D A7
*****BASE & DRUM ONLY*****
D
I'm telling you and I ain't ashamed
G
I cried when that wrecker came
D A7
As we skid I thought I heard angels sing
D
We hit the curve and began to sail
G
Took out most the safety rail
D A7
D
Even the cop asked me, "Man what'd you have in that thing?"
*****GUITAR STARTS AGAIN*****
A7 D G
I had a 455 rocket
The very kind you drive
D A7
You oughta watch yourself when you take that turn
D
She was made for the straight aways
G
She grew up hatin' Chevrolets
D A7 D
She's a rocket, she was made to burn, burn
D A7 D
Lord she's a rocket, she was made to burn.
We do sing and play your USA music in Aussie Land.
