[D] [G] [D]
I stopped off at the quicksack for [A] some beer and [D]
cigarettes.
[F#] [G] The old man took [D] my money as he stared at my [A] Corvette.
[D] He said I [A] had one just [D]
like her son in [G] 1963.
Tell a man down at the [D]
bank to [A] curve [D] from me.
Oh she was hotter than a two dollar pistol.
[E] She [F#] was [G] the fastest thing [D]
around.
[G] Long and lean [D] every young man's dream.
She turned every head in [A]
town.
She [D] was built [F#m] in Fontana.
And [D] old son I'm glad that you [G] dropped in.
She reminds me of the [D] one [A] I [D] loved back then.
[A] [D]

[A] [D]
And I handed him my keys and said [A] here take her [D] for a spin.
[G] The old man scratched [D] his head and then he looked at me [A] and grinned.
He [D] said son you just don't understand.
It ain't the car [G] I want.
It's the brunette in [D] your Vette [A] that [D] turns me on.
I had [F#] one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol.
She [G] was the fastest thing [D] around.
[G] Long and lean [D] every young man's dream.
She turned every head [A] in town.
She [D] was built [A] in [D] Fontana.
And old son I'm glad [F#] that you [G] dropped in.
She reminds me of [D] the one I [A] loved [D] back then.
Lord [Bm] she was hotter than a two dollar pistol.
She [G] was the fastest thing [D]
around.
[G] Long and lean [D] every young man's dream.
She turned every head [A] in town.
She [D] was built [A] in [D] Fontana.
