The Car Was The One chords by Mark Knopfler

Intro: G x4

D

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

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


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

D

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