Verse 1
(C major) At first it's (F major) the wind blowing so cold,
the ice and the snow and the rain.
It's strange (C major) this day I'm
remem (G major) bering now, (C major)
(G major) my little sister and I in a dream.
It's black and (C major) it's white,
but my memory's light
(F major) with the broken and dark bare trees.
Then after the front, (A minor)
there's only the sound of the
(G major) snow falling in (F major) to the leaves.
I see the light in the barn. (C major)
We were trying to stay warm.
I see my (F major) daddy popping open the hood.
He primed (C major) her well,
laid his hand on my head,
and said, (G major) let's see if that'll do (E minor) any good. (G major)
He pumped on (C major) the gas,
turning the key,
and the (F major) cylinders jumped,
and she groaned.
Then that 63 (C major) Mercury
Meteor turned over (G major)
and she was ready (F major) to roll.
We turned the (C major) radio on to the static and sound
of the road (F major) rolling under the wheel,
and Daddy said I (C major) tell you folks
something right now,
she's a (G major) fine little automobile.
Like a (C major) day you want to last forever,
I kept wish (F major) ing it would never end.
The smell (C major) of the dust
and the rain in our clothes
is like a (G major) letter that I'll never send.
But (C major) daddy pulled into the truck stop,
the place (F major) sounded like a pinball machine.
It smelled (C major) of diesel and tobacco
and oil and smoke
and (G major) coffee and gasoline.
He fixed (C major) a rusty leak in the gas tank
with a rag (F major) and an old bar of soap.
Then he bought (C major) us a bottle of
sodie pop for breakfast,
little (G major) drifters on a gypsy road. (F major)
Over the (A minor) moon and down
(C major) to the town,
(G major) the sound of a happy machine,
(C major) the (A minor) windshield wipers
bend (F major) ing the light,
the cold coming in (D minor) through the way, (G major)
rid (F major) ing with daddy just my sis (C major) ter and me
driving (F major) that old meteor home (C major)
it's like we're (E minor) flying a space (A minor) ship
mama (G major) spinning (F major) around the (G major) sun (D minor)
see grand (F major) ma was (C major) gone
she'd followed her song
we were (F major) trying to take care of her things
reaping (C major) an d sowing the time lying down
and me and sis (G major) ter we
were coming of age
The clock (C major) was really turning,
the big world was burning,
and we didn't (F major) like the compromise.
But there's noth (C major) ing you can do,
you got to keep on moving.
And I could see (G major) that in my daddy's eyes.
And if my daddy was (C major) sad
or scared or cross,
he tried to (F major) set that old burden aside.
And as we got a little (C major) closer
to getting back home,
I (G major) started feeling like I wanted to cry.
It's (C major) black and it's white,
but my memory's light
With the (F major) cold and the dark bare trees
And after the (C major) front, there's (F major) only the sound
Of the (G major) snow fallin' into the leaves (F major)
Over the (A minor) moon and down (C major) to the town
The (G major) sound of a happy machine
(C major) The (A minor) windshield wipers
bend (C major) ing the light
an (F major) d the cold com (D minor) ing
in through the way (G major)
Riding (F major) with daddy just for (C major) sister and me, (F major)
(C major) driv (F major) ing that old Meteor home
(C major) It's (E minor) like we were flying a space (A minor) ship,
(G major) mama, spin (F major) ning around the (D minor) sun you
