[Intro]
D D
The mech Danic raised up from under my hood
He Gshook his head and said, "This ain't good
Your Bmtimin' belt's done sh Arunk one size too Dsmall
Those spark plug wires are a little too long 
And your Gmain prodsponder's nearly gone
Your in Bmjector ports are Astripped and that ain't Dall"
"The Dtorque converter's runnin' low on torque
And that Gwater pump's nearly down a quart
But we Bmcaught it all in Atime so you're in Dluck"
He said, "I've got the time and I've got the parts 
Just Ggive me the word and I'm ready to start
I Bmthink we can bring her Ain for eight Dhundred bucks"
But Gdon't be down Dhearted, I can Afix it Gfor you, Dsonny
GIt won't take Dtoo long, it'll Gjust Atake Dmoney
Then he said, D#"Ain't you that songwriter guy?"
I G#said, "Yes, I am," he said, "So am I"
And he Cmsat down and played me a A#song by the grease rackD#  
When he finished singin' he gave me a smile 
And I G#closed my eyes and pondered awhile
And he said, Cm"What do you think?
A#Now don't hold nothin' D#back"
Well, I gave him my most sorrowful look 
And I said, G#"This song's got a broken hook
I can Cmorder you a new one from A#Nashville but it won't be D#cheap
And I know you've been using a cut-rate thesaurus 
'Cause your G#adverbs have backed up into your chorus
Now your Cmverse is runnin' on A#verbs that are way too D#weak"
But G#don't be down D#hearted, I can A#fix it G#for you, D#sonny
G#It won't take D#too long, it'll G#just A#take D#money
And I said, E"Hold on friend now I'm not through
I Ahate to be the one to give you the news
But your C#mwhole melodic Bstructure's worked itself Eloose
It's got so many dotted eighth notes in it 
I'd Akeep her under fifty beats per minute
I mean, C#mthat's just me talkin', Bit's really up to Eyou"
And you've got a bad safety problem with 
That Adominant chord with the augmented fifth
Just C#5see how dangerously D#5high it raises you E5up
So just Ego on over there and work on my car
I'll Asit here by the fan and chances are
I can C#mstraighten this thing out for Beig...nine hundred bucks"
But Adon't be down Ehearted, I can Bfix it Afor you, Esonny

And that water pump's nearly down a quart
