Slaid Cleaves - Getaway Car


INTRO: G+G C majorC G+G C majorC G+G

          C majorC     G+G
The old man's been drinking
         C majorC     G+G
And momma's been driving
              D MajorD   G+G
Herself home alone more and more
       C majorC       G+G
Baby tugging at her breast
          C majorC       G+G
Little devil won't take no rest
      D MajorD           G+G   C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
The goddamn neighbours all keeping score

       C majorC     G+G
It's momma's birthday
      C majorC         G+G
Oh, but the bills ain't paid
            D MajorD   G+G
We'll sit alone in the dark
           C majorC          G+G
"Make a pallet by the screen door, dear
           C majorC       G+G
Try and get some cool air in here"
                 D MajorD   G+G
Listening to the highway rolling past


CHORUS:
   C majorC        G+G    D MajorD
And I dream of a getaway car

One with no brakes or plates

Dark and swift without a trace
   C majorC        G+G     D MajorD
I'll drive it, oh, so far away

Straight out into the night
     G+G         C majorC       G+G    C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD  G+G
I'm gonna bury it all in the glow of my taillights


          C majorC       G+G
Town pump's at the edge of town
                 C majorC       G+G
The whores call his name when he comes around
                    D MajorD   G+G
Three sheets to the wind like a millionaire
          C majorC         G+G
Crawls home on his hands and knees
        C majorC        G+G
To three hungry mouths to feed
         D MajorD         G+G
Their bellies as empty as the Frigidaire


CHORUS:
   C majorC        G+G    D MajorD
And I dream of a getaway car

One with no brakes or plates

Dark and swift without a trace
   C majorC        G+G     D MajorD
I'll drive it, oh, so far away

Straight out into the night
     G+G         C majorC       G+G
I'm gonna bury it all in the glow of my taillights
