52 Ford chords by Murder By Death

Chords with lyrics

I hit the road in a '52 Ford
C majorC
A augmentedA pack of matches
    DmDm
And a postcard on the dashboard
DmDm
The sun was set
G minorGm
The gas gauge was low
C majorC         DmDm
And it was time to go

DmDm           G minorGm
I met the girl at a juke joint on the fly
C majorC                 DmDm
Needed a friend the day my mother died
DmDm             G minorGm
Her place was hot and it smelled of sin
C majorC                  DmDm
I guess when one life goes another begins

G minorGm    DmDm
Hey now, what you gonna do?
A augmentedA
Got a fiver in your pocket
DmDm
And a switchblade in your boot
G minorGm    DmDm
Hey now what you gonna say
A augmentedA        DmDm
To make it go away?

DmDm            G minorGm
I found the city by the mark on the stamp
C majorC           DmDm
Studied it under the light of a hotel lamp
DmDm          G minorGm
I found his work, I found their home
C majorC         DmDm
I waited until I knew she was alone
DmDm            DmDm
I didn't want the child to see life
C majorC           DmDm
I justified that it wounded my pride
DmDm          G minorGm
My mind was set that no one could know
C majorC        DmDm
The girl had to go

G minorGm    DmDm
Hey now, what you gonna do?
A augmentedA
Got a fiver in your pocket
DmDm
And a switchblade in your boot
G minorGm    DmDm
Hey now what you gonna say
A augmentedA       DmDm
To make it go away?

G minorGm     DmDm
Hey now, what you gonna do?
A augmentedA
Got a fiver in your pocket
DmDm
And a switchblade in your boot
G minorGm    DmDm
Hey now what you gonna say
A augmentedA        DmDm
To make it go away?

DmDm
Light stumbled in
      G minorGm
Through a crack in the shades
C majorC           DmDm
Reflected off of the edge of my blade
DmDm
As I reached for the girl
G minorGm
With the knife in my hand
C majorC               DmDm
I thought "I guess the kid deserves a chance"
DmDm           G minorGm
Her man came in as I started to go
C majorC          DmDm
My last intentions; how could he know?
DmDm          G minorGm
The blade sunk deep into my skin
C majorC           DmDm
I guess when one life goes another begins
