[Verse]
GmDown the line, comin' down the line, a CmV6 Merc in Gmblue
WithGmout the sparks or distributor cap, I'll slap them Cmon as it rides Gmthrough
Gm8 to 4 on the assembly floor, watchin' CmV6 Mercs slide Gmthrough
GmI can drive, and she can drive, but Cmthis car's made for Gmyou
[Chorus]
CmI'd like to buy her one (GmWhere ya gonna get the money, son?)
CmI'd like to buy her two (GmBut you'll never find the right bijou)
CmI'd like to buy her three (GmBut you're working in a factory)
And CmI'd like to buy her Dmore than this blue Cm7collar can afDford
(Intro notes)
[Verse]
Down the line, chipper down the line's got a cottage up on Scugog
Last Christmas bash he spent all his cash plyin' Mr. Bewdley with eggnog
He got the raise and from what he said he'll have that love nest paid off soon
I got the keys, but my girlfriend she's not gettin' off till Sunday noon
(Chorus)
(Accordion Solo)
[Verse]
In GmDarlington lies my darling one, she Cmfills my thoughts each Gmday
GmHalf a mile from the cooling towers, I sure Cmhope that she's oGmkay
[Chorus]
CmI'd like to buy her one (GmWhere ya gonna get the money, son?)
CmI'd like to buy her two (GmBut you'll never find the right bijou)
CmI'd like to buy her three (GmBut you're working in a factory)
And CmI'd like to buy her Dmore than this blue Cm7collar can afDfo-C#ord
