(E)     (A)            (B)                  (E)
FIRE RED T-BIRD MADE ME LOOK A LITTLE OUT OF STYLE
(E)                      (A)                     
AS I SAT THERE IN DADDY'S OLD BELLE-AIR
     (B)                  (E)
LINED UP FOR THE QUARTER MILE
(E)               (A)
EVERYBODY FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL
      (B)               (E)
SHOWED UP AND GATHERED ROUND
(E)                              (A)
I WAS SCARED TO DEATH AND PRAYING TO MYSELF
    (B)                  (E)
NOW CHEVY DON'T LET ME DOWN
(E)                   (A)          
BECKY JOE DROPPED THE TOWEL ON THE ROAD
       (B)                 (E)
AND WE BOTH STEPPED ON THE GAS
(E)             (A)
WE WERE RUNNING NECK AND NECK
        (B)            (E)
WHEN WE REACHED THE OVERPASS
(E)                (A)
HE WAS PUSHING THAT T-BIRD
      (B)                 (E)
AND I HEARD MAKE AN AWFUL SOUND
(E)                      (A)            
I JUST LAUGHED AND PATTED ON THE DASH
         (B)                (E)
AND SAID CHEVY DON'T LET ME DOWN
CHORUS:
(E)          (A)
DON'T LET ME DOWN
(A)                    (E)
THAT STEADY OLD CHEVY HAS SEEN ME HAPPY AND SEEN ME SAD
(A)                               
WE CRUISED THROUGH A LOT OF GOOD TIMES
(E)
AND ROLLED OUT THE BAD
(A)
IT'LL NEVER SEE A FOR SALE SIGN
   (B)         (E)
AS LONG AS I'M AROUND
(E)                        (A)
YEAH, FRIENDS MAY COME AND FRIENDS MAY GO
         (B)                (E)
BUT THAT CHEVY DON'T LET ME DOWN
Verse 2
(E)               (A)             (B)              (E)
IT'S BEEN KNOWN TO RUN HOT SPUTTER OUT FROM TIME TO TIME
(E)                    (A)            
AND THAT'S JUST WHAT IT DID ON AN OLD DIRT ROAD
          (B)               (E)
WITH BECKY JOE SITTING BY MY SIDE
(E)                 (A) 
WHILE WE WAITED FOR IT TO COOL OFF
       (B)            (E)
THINGS HEATED UP ALL AROUND
(E)                           (A)
YEAH I MIGHT HAVE MISSED THAT VERY FIRST KISS
         (B)                (E)
BUT THIS CHEVY DON'T LET ME DOWN

BUT THAT CHEVY DON'T LET ME DOWN
VERSE:
(A)                     (E)  
LATER ON SHE AND I SPENT MANY A NIGHT
        (B)                (E)
WITH THE TOP DOWN UNDER THE MOON
(A)                      (E)
