God Made The Automobile chords by Iron & Wine

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
 C      G   Am  F       Am   G
God made the automobile to pass all the pretty girls
C         G      Am     F     Am    G
That smoke by the side of the road, their blues loving boys in tow
C          G     Am    F   Am     G
To drive until the end of the day and bow to a borrowed flag
C         G      Am    F     Am    G
Beside all the brave and the blind, and men without men in mind


Chorus:
   F      C    G
To pass all the things he made
   C      G     Am
But then never bothered to name
   F      C    G
And no one will tell the truth
   C      G     Am
And no one will hide it from you
   F    C    G
Like birds around the grave

Verse 2:
 C      G   Am    F    Am   G
God made the automobile and I made a little boy
C       G      Am     F     Am    G
To pass all the blissfully young, the snake with a forked tongue
C          G     Am    F   Am     G
That preys on the wanting for time and makes in the sleepless waves
C         G      Am    F     Am    G
The fear of the black and the Jew and blood for the camera crew


Chorus:
   F      C    G
To pass all the things he made
   C      G     Am
But then never bothered to name
   F      C    G
And no one will tell the truth
   C      G     Am
And no one will hide it from you
   F    C    G
Like birds around the grave
