G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC

G+G                D MajorD
I left my home in Monterey, just another low prospects man
   A minorAm                 E minorEm
I'd rather work in a foundry than put fishes in a can
   C majorC         G+G        D MajorD
I'm thirty-five and I haven't traveled far
     A minorAm                   E minorEm  C majorC
And I've spent all my money on this misbegotten car

B minorBm             C majorC
I'm up against it all like a leaf against the wind
      C majorC    E minorEm         C majorC
And this Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
  A minorAm  G+G  D MajorD     C majorC    G+G
My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
  G7G7                C majorC
I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend
    D MajorD  G+G  C majorC   G+G    D MajorD       G+G
But my damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again

D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC

G+G                   D MajorD
I was speeding south on ninety-nine when the manifold started smokin'
  A minorAm              E minorEm      C majorC
I ran her off the shoulder, and now the axle's broken
           G+G           D MajorD
It made a sound that cracked my heart in half
     A minorAm               E minorEm  C majorC
And with only half a half pint of vodka left

I'm up against it all like a leaf against the wind
And this Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
My Studebaker keeps on breaking down away
I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend
But my damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again

G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC

G+G     E minorEm         C majorC
My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
  A minorAm  G+G   D MajorD    C majorC    G+G
My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
  G7G7                 C majorC
I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend
    D MajorD   G+G  C majorC   G+G    D MajorD       G+G
But my damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again

G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC
