The Car Was The One chords by Mark Knopfler

Chords with lyrics

Intro: G+G x4

D MajorD

                C majorC
In summer '63 I was staying alive
D MajorD
hanging at the races, hoping to drive
                          C majorC
When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars
D MajorD
I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar


                C majorC
I'm up in the corner nursing a beer
D MajorD
who should come laughing and joking in here
                        C majorC
but Bobby Brown, the winner of the sports car race
D MajorD
with some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place

D MajorD
Bobby was a wild boy - one summer
  D MajorD
he knocked down a motel wall with a hammer
   D MajorD
He'd do anything - one night for a bet
  A augmentedA
he raced through the cornfields in a Corvette

D MajorD

                       C majorC
I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that
     D MajorD
with the beautiful girl and be king of the track
                    C majorC
But the truth is when all was said and done
      C majorC
it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
      G+G
It was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
         G+G
The car was the one
         G+G
The car was the one

G+G x2
