Hot Rod Lincoln chords
Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen


My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinking
If you don't stop driving that Hot Rod Lincoln"

E MajorE A7A7 E MajorE B7B7

E MajorE
Have you heard this story of the hot rod race
   A7A7
When Fords and Lincolns was setting the pace
   E MajorE
That story is true, I'm here to say
B7B7            E MajorE
I was driving that Model A augmentedA

      E MajorE
It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up
   A7A7
That Model A augmentedA body makes it look like a pup
     E MajorE
It's got eight cylinders, uses them all
     B7B7          E MajorE
It's got overdrive, just won't stall

    E MajorE
With a 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust
   A7A7
With 4.11 gears you can really get lost
     E MajorE
It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
  B7B7           E MajorE
The brakes are good, tires fair

E MajorE
Pulled out of San Pedro late one night
  A7A7
The moon and the stars was shining bright
    E MajorE
We was driving up Grapevine Hill
B7B7                 E MajorE
Passing cars like they was standing still

E MajorE A7A7 E MajorE B7B7

E MajorE
All of a sudden in a wink of an eye
 A7A7
A augmentedA Cadillac sedan passed us by
     E MajorE
I said, "Boys, that's a mark for me"
  B7B7                  E MajorE
By then the tail light was all you could see

    E MajorE
Now the fellas was ribbing me for being behind
   A7A7
So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind
    E MajorE
Took my foot off the gas and man alive
 B7B7             E MajorE
I shoved it on down into overdrive

E MajorE
Wound it up to a hundred-and-ten
  A7A7
My speedometer said that I hit top end
  E MajorE
My foot was glued like lead to the floor
    B7B7               E MajorE
That's all there is and there ain't no more

E MajorE
Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense
  A7A7
And telephone poles looked like a picket fence
   E MajorE
They said, "Slow down! I see spots!
  B7B7                E MajorE
The lines on the road just look like dots"

E MajorE
Took a corner, sideswiped a truck
A7A7
Crossed my fingers just for luck
  E MajorE
My fenders was clicking the guardrail posts
  B7B7              E MajorE
The guy beside me was white as a ghost

E MajorE A7A7 E MajorE B7B7

E MajorE
Smoke was coming from out of the back
    A7A7
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
E MajorE
Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
     B7B7             E MajorE
Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas

    E MajorE
We had flames coming from out of the side
     A7A7
Feel the tension, man, what a ride!
     E MajorE
I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly"
     B7B7              E MajorE
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by

E MajorE
Now all of a sudden she started to knocking
  A7A7
And down in the dips she started to rocking
 E MajorE
I looked in my mirror; a red light was blinking

  B7B7            E MajorE
The cops was after my hot rod Lincoln

E MajorE
They arrested me and they put me in jail
  A7A7
And called my pappy to throw my bail
    E MajorE
And he said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinking
    B7B7                E MajorE
If you don't stop driving that hot, rod, Lincoln!"

E MajorE A7A7 E MajorE B7B7
