    D MajorD         A augmentedA
Oh, I'm headed out to the junkyard

On the lonely side of town

And it's one last time to the junkyard

I've swapped out my share of parts

To shoulders, knees and hearts

The doctors and the mechanics

With hammer, wrench and scalpel

Ball joint, valve and screw

Verse:

   D MajorD          A augmentedA
It's time to throw in the towel

Some breakdowns you cannot mend

Like all that have come before us

We all must face the end

Verse:

    D MajorD          A augmentedA
So I'm limping back to the junkyard
  D MajorD         G+G
In cloud of smoke and dust
 D MajorD         D MajorD
I won't be drivin' out this time
   A augmentedA       D MajorD    D MajorD
Gonna lay me down to rust

Chorus:

   B minorBm           A augmentedA
Gonna leave this old shell behind now
G+G        A augmentedA
Set our spirits free
   B minorBm       A augmentedA
Gonna walk on out to glory
  G+G        A augmentedA
Sun setting down on me

    D MajorD          A augmentedA
So it's one last time to the junkyard

On the loneliest side of town

This time it's a one way trip boys
 A augmentedA          D MajorD
I won't be coming back round
