[A] [E] [A]
[E] 24460 is an engine pretty mean, shitting out bolts and pissing gasoline, seven and a quarter
tons of pure mule power, [B] rolling down the road at eight miles [E] a grind.
[Em] [E] [E]
When you hit the hem of a lane, that's the engine to the floor, to see if he's a cracker
with the truck stopped for, hard to hear twenty when the engine valves rattle, rolling [A] down
the road at eight miles [E] a grind.

You always ought to point if it's me you're fighting for, need democracy and gasoline
and worldwide rock and roll and I'm praying every day that if you make it through the
battle, I don't feel so guilty about eight miles a gallon.
So I invent a big engine, make it [E] run on bullshit, put it on [A] the highway buddy, it'll [E] never quit,
invent a big engine, make it run on bullshit, put it on the train [A] track buddy, it'll never quit.
Invent a big engine, make it run on [E] bullshit, put it on the chassis buddy, [G] it'll never quit,
invent a [B] big engine, make it run [E] on bullshit, put it on the highway [B] buddy, it'll never quit,
we'll wash it into orange, do the house inside, yeah we need to [A] shovel some dirt, gotta have
a job, but I [G] be living happy in the shadow, [Em] know about it, rolling down the road at eight
miles a gallon.
Rolling down [E] the road at eight miles a gallon.
