Chords for Commander Cody & His lost Planet Airmen - Hot Rod Lincoln 1974

[N] You're gonna drive me to drinking [G] if you don't stop driving that hot rod, Lincoln.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Let me tell you a story [Bm] about a hot rod race.
[A] Holden Lincoln was setting [B] his pace.
That story is true.
I was [E] _
driving.
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Em] Got a Lincoln motor [E] and it's really stuck.
Got a Model A body.
[Em] _ [B] Got a cylinder and fuse and all.
[Em] Got an overdrive.
And it never stalls.
[E] _
_ _ My four valve car, I do a [A] little talk.
It's always a good _ _ [B] use.
But I [E] ain't pared the brakes a good shot.
_ _ _ I pulled out of LA late one night at [F] noon.
The stars were shining bright.
[B] Dried enough on Rayvon Hill.
Cars like they were standing [E] still.
_ _ _ _ All [A] of a _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [B] sudden in the wake of an eye, [F] a Cadillac sedan passed me by.
[B] I said, boys, there's a Mark 4 [Bm] Mevov in this thing.
That was always a [E] dream.
_ _ _ [B] Boys all ran up to him, came [A] behind.
I thought I'd make my Lincoln unwind.
I dropped my [B] foot off the gas and then live.
Shoved it on down into [E] overdrive. _ _
Now I wound it up to [Bm] 110.
Phenomenal said [B] that I hit stop.
And my foot went to lose like a dead horse.
That's all it is.
There ain't [E] no more.
_ _ _ [A] Everybody thought [B] that I lost my sense.
Telephone [A] poles look like I'm making [B] a face.
Faces slow down.
I see flies and [Em] signs on the road that look like eyes.
[E] _ _
I look to the corner.
I spot the truck.
You call it a figure.
It's [A] just luck.
[B] Fenders flicking.
The guardrail posing.
Not at a time.
[E] He looks right at the door.
_ _ _ _ I look to the head.
I see a car.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[E] I look to the car. _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ I thought this was coming from out of the back.
When I started [A] again on that [B] Cadillac.
You could catch him.
I thought I could [Em] pass him.
No, I'd better be out of gas.
[E] _ _ _ Oh, I'm coming from [B] out of the side.
You're [A] seeing the tension now.
What a ride.
I [B] said, look out.
I got lights that fly.
That Caddy pull over and let me by. _
_ _ All of a sudden she starts to [A] knock it down.
The tips [B] she starts to rock.
And I looked in the mirror.
I saw a [Em] red light with flicking.
Holy crap.
My hot rod Lincoln.
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
They [Em] arrested me and put me in jail.
All night.
I beat it through my bell.
[B] He said, you're gonna [E] drive me crazy if you don't stop driving that hot rod.
Lincoln, [G] what's that sound? _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
