Chords with lyrics
E MajorE
F#F#
An '87 pickup and a red guitar
BB
Playin' like an angel with a broken wing
A augmentedA
A majorA song of true love for his girl Darlene
E MajorE
They haven't seen each other for a year or so
F#F#
Man, he misses her like we all miss that TV show
BB
Where he first performed that love song 'bout a year ago
A augmentedA
Well, if ya haven't heard it yet then this is how it goes...
E/F#E/F# F#/A#
RO-DE-O-uh-oh-oh-oh
BB
Like the buffalos do it by the wishing well
A augmentedA
'Cause they haven't got no money for a cheap motel
E/F#E/F# F#/A#
RO-DE-O-uh-oh-oh-oh
BB
What sweeter thing could happen to a boy an' a girl?
A augmentedA
We gotta do it like mechanical rabbits from hell, yeah
Repeat chords throughout entire song...
It was the sweetest song playin' on the radio
From the edge of Alabama down to Mexico
It was a number one hit but Darlene didn't know
Whom her fav'rite song was fo'
But everytime she hears it, her heart, like a gong
Would tremble for the man for whom she longs
...For whom she longs...
And 'en she starts to sing along...
RO-DE-O-uh-oh-oh-oh
We gotta do it for a reason, gotta do it for fun
We gotta sparkle like tequila in the hot...hot sun, yeah!
RO-DE-O-uh-oh-oh-oh
We gotta do it like Sinatra used to do "My Way"
An' in the background there's that Beck dude singin' Odelay
