Em D
GWatched it coming up CWinslGow
Down AmSouth Park GBoulevaDrd
Yeah it was lEmooking gDood from tGail to hood
GGreat big fins and paCinted steGel
Man it lAmooked just lGike the BatmDobile
With Emmy old mDan beGhind the wheel
Well you could hEmardly even sDee him
In aCll of that chrGome
The mEman with the pDlan and the poCcket coGmb
But evAmery niGght it caCrried him hDome
And I could hear him sayin'...
GDon't gimme no Buick
CSon you must take my woGrd
If there's a God in heaDven
He's got a SilCver Thunderbird
GYou can keep your El Dorados
CAnd the foreign car's absGurd
Me I wanna go doDwn
In a SilCver Thunderbird
Em D
He got Gup every morning
While CI was still asGleep
But I remAmember the soGund of him shufDfling around
Then rEmight befDore the crGack of dawn
I hAmeard him tGurn the mDotor on
But when I Emgot uDp they were gGone

The mEman and hDis maCchine would Ggo
Oh the seAmcrets that oGld cCar would kDnow
Sometimes I hear him sayin'...

If there's a God in heaDven
He's got a SilCver Thunderbird
GYou can keep your El Dorados
CAnd the foreign car's absGurd
Me I wanna go doDwn

Em D

G C G

Watched it coming up Winslow

Am G D

Down South Park Boulevard

Em D G

Yeah it was looking good from tail to hood

G C G

Great big fins and painted steel

Am G D

Man it looked just like the Batmobile

Em D G

With my old man behind the wheel

Em D

Well you could hardly even see him

C G

In all of that chrome

Em D C G

The man with the plan and the pocket comb

Am G C D

But every night it carried him home

And I could hear him sayin'...

Don't gimme no Buick

C G

Son you must take my word

If there's a God in heaven

He's got a Silver Thunderbird

You can keep your El Dorados

C G

And the foreign car's absurd

Me I wanna go down

In a Silver Thunderbird

Em D

He got up every morning

C G

While I was still asleep

Am G D

But I remember the sound of him shuffling around

Em D G

Then right before the crack of dawn

Am G D

I heard him turn the motor on

Em D G

But when I got up they were gone

Em D C G

Down the road in the rain and snow

Em D C G

The man and his machine would go

Am G C D

Oh the secrets that old car would know

Sometimes I hear him sayin'...

Don't gimme no Buick

C G

Son you must take my word

If there's a God in heaven

He's got a Silver Thunderbird

You can keep your El Dorados

C G

And the foreign car's absurd

Me I wanna go down

In a Silver Thunderbird

Em D G
