C

Verse 1:

     C                           F                    C
It's older than that water tower we used to paint our names
                                     G
Shakes at sixty miles an hour, never missed a home team game
      C                                   F             C
Still kind of smells like wintergreen and empty cans of beer
                                           G
It's got dirt on me from every street it's rolled down
       C
around here

          F
There's a couple letters missing but you can
C
make out Chevrolet
    F                                C               G
The paint is faded now but it shined up back in the day
      Am               G              F                 C/E
Every time I turn that key it's summertime and I'm seventeen
Dm7                       F     G        C
I swear this old Silverado is a memory machine

Verse 2:

      C                                 F                C
I was fifteen minutes early picking her up for our first date
                                       G
Her dad was pissed when I got her back home an hour late
C                                   F                  C
Smelled like her for a couple days, sometimes it still does
                                        G
Guess some things are built to last and some things are
         C
built to rust

          F
There's a couple letters missing but you can
C
make out Chevrolet
    F                                C               G
The paint is faded now but it shined up back in the day
      Am               G                 F               C/E
Every time I turn that key she's sitting in that shotgun seat
Dm7                       F     G        C
I swear this old Silverado is a memory machine

Verse 3:

    C                                F                  C
Dad ain't around to fix it now so he passed it down to me

But he's still stitched in this thing like the
G
leather in these seats
      C                                       F
I can hear him say don't punch the clutch and ease up on
     G
that gas
                                 G                C
Every time I grind these gears I swear I hear him laugh

          F
There's a couple letters missing but you can
C
make out Chevrolet
    F                                C               G
The paint is faded now but it shined up back in the day
      Am               G            F                  C
Every time I turn that key I'm back home in East Tennessee
                Dm                    F    G
He's letting me drive, sitting on his knee
  F                       G              C
I swear this old Silverado is a memory machine
