GCod made the GautomobAmile tFo pass all the Ampretty gGirls
CThat smoke by the Gside of the rAmoad, their bFlues loving Amboys in tGow
CTo drive until the eGnd of the dAmay and boFw to a Amborrowed flGag
CBeside all the braGve and the blAmind, and Fmen without Ammen in miGnd
[Chorus]
To paDmss all the thCings he mGade
But thCen never botGhered to naAmme
And nDmo one will teCll the trGuth
And no Cone will hiGde it from Amyou
Like Dmbirds aroCund the gGrave
[Verse 2]
GCod made the GautomobAmile and I Fmade a Amlittle bGoy
CTo pass all the Gblissfully yAmoung, the snFake with a Amforked tonGgue
CThat preys on the waGnting for tAmime and mFakes in Amthe sleeplGess waves

Chords in this song · guitar

[Verse 1]

C G Am F Am G

God made the automobile to pass all the pretty girls

C G Am F Am G

That smoke by the side of the road, their blues loving boys in tow

C G Am F Am G

To drive until the end of the day and bow to a borrowed flag

C G Am F Am G

Beside all the brave and the blind, and men without men in mind

[Chorus]

Dm C G

To pass all the things he made

C G Am

But then never bothered to name

Dm C G

And no one will tell the truth

C G Am

And no one will hide it from you

Dm C G

Like birds around the grave

[Verse 2]

C G Am F Am G

God made the automobile and I made a little boy

C G Am F Am G

To pass all the blissfully young, the snake with a forked tongue

C G Am F Am G

That preys on the wanting for time and makes in the sleepless waves

C G Am F Am G

The fear of the black and the Jew and blood for the camera crew

[Chorus]

Dm C G

To pass all the things he made

C G Am

But then never bothered to name

Dm C G

And no one will tell the truth

C G Am

And no one will hide it from you

Dm C G

Like birds around the grave
