Intro:

 D  A

Verse:

        D                 A
Oh, I'm headed out to the junkyard
       D              G
On the lonely side of town
     D                   D
This time it's a one way trip boys
  Bm                   A
I won't be coming back round

Verse:

         D                    A
And it's one last time to the junkyard
     D                       G
I've swapped out my share of parts
     D                D
From fenders and alternators
   A                    D        D
To shoulders, knees and hearts

Chorus:

    Bm                A
The doctors and the mechanics
     G                 A
Have done all they can do
     Bm                 A
With hammer, wrench and scalpel
G                     A
Ball joint, valve and screw

Verse:

     D                    A
It's time to throw in the towel
     D                     G
Some breakdowns you cannot mend
     D                    D
Like all that have come before us
   Bm                A
We all must face the end

Verse:

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

Chorus:

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

Outro:

        D                    A
So it's one last time to the junkyard
       D                 G
On the loneliest side of town
     D                   D
This time it's a one way trip boys
  A                    D
I won't be coming back round
