[Intro]
D D
D
The mech anic raised up from under my hood
G
He shook his head and said, "This ain't good
Bm A D
Your timin' belt's done sh runk one size too small
Those spark plug wires are a little too long
G
And your main prodsponder's nearly gone
Bm A D
Your in jector ports are stripped and that ain't all"
D
"The torque converter's runnin' low on torque
G
And that water pump's nearly down a quart
Bm A D
But we caught it all in time so you're in luck"
He said, "I've got the time and I've got the parts
G
Just give me the word and I'm ready to start
Bm A D
I think we can bring her in for eight hundred bucks"
G D A G D
But don't be down hearted, I can fix it for you, sonny
G D G A D
It won't take too long, it'll just take money
---KEY CHANGE---
D#
Then he said, "Ain't you that songwriter guy?"
G#
I said, "Yes, I am," he said, "So am I"
Cm A# D#
And he sat down and played me a song by the grease rack
When he finished singin' he gave me a smile
G#
And I closed my eyes and pondered awhile
Cm
And he said, "What do you think?
A# D#
Now don't hold nothin' back"
Well, I gave him my most sorrowful look
G#
And I said, "This song's got a broken hook
Cm A# D#
I can order you a new one from Nashville but it won't be cheap
And I know you've been using a cut-rate thesaurus
G#
'Cause your adverbs have backed up into your chorus
Cm A# D#
Now your verse is runnin' on verbs that are way too weak"
G# D# A# G# D#
But don't be down hearted, I can fix it for you, sonny
G# D# G# A# D#
It won't take too long, it'll just take money
---KEY CHANGE---
E
And I said, "Hold on friend now I'm not through
A
I hate to be the one to give you the news
C#m B E
But your whole melodic structure's worked itself loose
It's got so many dotted eighth notes in it
A
I'd keep her under fifty beats per minute
C#m B E
I mean, that's just me talkin', it's really up to you"
And you've got a bad safety problem with
A
That dominant chord with the augmented fifth
C#5 D#5 E5
Just see how dangerously high it raises you up
E
So just go on over there and work on my car
A
I'll sit here by the fan and chances are
C#m B
I can straighten this thing out for eig...nine hundred bucks"
A E B A E
But don't be down hearted, I can fix it for you, sonny
A E C#m B
It won't take too long
(N.C.) You guessed it
E
It may be a hit
