[G] [C]
[G] Nobody would own me in my old car called Salome, but Jennifer said she would [D] rather be
Right there by my side, wherever I might ride, it was [G] Salome, Jennifer and me
We came rolling from the Bundoo, [C] basically called Chirundo, and [G] I'll tell you now I was a [D] worried boy
[G] Jenny's money bought the moody, the [C] titty-tittin' at the cootie, [D] and it took us down the [G] highway to Kiroi
When [B] we got to Marindelas [Em] we picked up two scruffy fellas [A] who were hitchin' all the way to [D] Mozambique
[G] But when we got to Rissabi, Mickey [C] and Finda sat a-party, and they [D] stole our money hidden [G] in the seat
In my head there rang a tangle as we [C] turned to foreign yanga, [G] little Jenny drove as I lay [D] on the seat
[G] I still could smell the shunga [C] as we climbed up through the bumba, [D] three bigger wrecks you couldn't [G] hope to meet
[B] I tried to stay much longer [Em] in the job, a pen a-longer, [A] but the boss suggested that I [D] shouldn't linger
So [G] I pumped the carburettor, [C] headed off towards Mousetta, through [D] the big Manica mountains to [G]

Nobody would own me in my old car called Salome, but Jennifer said she would rather [D]
be
Right there by my side, wherever I might ride, it was [G] Salome, Jennifer and me
Now I just don't want to bore you [C] with our stay in Fort Victoria, [G] it's a barney town, we didn't [D] want to shylock
[G] Cause we had an urge to wander [C] down the old rough road to Gwanda, [D] and on to Essex Vale through [G] Bala Bala
[B] Drinkin' homemade brew in Gwelo, [Em] must admit that I got mellow [A] in the mornin', I was sorry that [D] I drank
[G] Old Salome got some buma [C] from Kwekwe to Ketuma, [D] Jenny took the dragon to [G] her empty tank
We were rather broken heartly, so [C] we had to leave quite smartly, [G] in Senoia got a loan and we [D] were married
[G] After that the hills were steeper, so [C] we sailed her from Kariba, [Eb] [D] all the way to Binga [G] on a ferry
[B] That road from Mulabizi [Em] to Det wasn't easy, [A] and in between there weren't [D] many bars
[G] Old Salome got quite cranky [C] as we toured the park at Wanky, [D] and it's not a place to sleep beneath [G] the stars
Nobody would hold me in my old car called Salome, but Jennifer said she would [D] rather be
Right there by my side, wherever I might ride, it was [G] Salome, Jennifer and me
Here at last in Bulaweo [C] we decided that we'll stay, [G] and I know there are places that we've [D] never seen
[G] Like Blountree, Fig Tree, Booby, [C] Nua, Netsy and Tredsey, [D] Mazoe, Lundy and [G] Copper Queen
[B] It's a long time since we've shone a [Em] dam, the wheat grow through her bonnet, in [A] the yard Salome rests beneath [D] the trees
[G] Though the vintage dealers offers are [C] enough to fill our coffers, we [D] don't ever want to sell [G] our memories
