Intro 1
(D major) (Dsus4) (D major)
Verse 1
(D major) Every year
when it came around
My birthday, Uncle Roy
Would always make a trip to town
And bring me a homemade toy
A wooden (E minor) gun when I was four
It (C major) looked like the real thing
You (E minor) know he made my leather holster
So I tied (C major) it to my leg (D major)
One year it was a barnyard scene
With animals carved of soap
There were lots of wind -up toys
And even a paddle boat
Of (E minor) all the toys he ever made
My (C major) fa vorite one by far
Was (E minor) a cardboard box cut up and painted
To (C major) look like a red sports car (D major)
And he said, (E minor) Billy, close your eye (D major) s
And (C major) get behind the wheel
(G major) Slipping into over (E minor) drive
Get (A minor) on out of here (D major)
You (C major) can go to Mex (D major) ico
Or (G major) just down (D major) the street (E minor)
You (A minor) can go as far (C major) (D major)
As you can (G major) dream (D major) (E minor) (D major) (C major)
(D major) I (G major) (D major) was only six years old
and I didn't know what he meant
Four years that red sports car
sat there on the shelf
Then (E minor) one day when I was eight
I (C major) got sent to my room
You (E minor) know I got behind the wheel
And I (C major) took off for the moon (D major)
He said, (E minor) Billy, close your eye (D major) s
Get (C major) behind the wheel (G major)
Slip it (D major) into overdrive (E minor)
Get (A minor) on out of here (D major)
You (C major) can go to Mex (D major) ico
Just (G major) down (D major) the street, (E minor)
you (A minor) can go as far, (C major) as (D major) you can (A minor) dream
When (F major) I finally understood,
what (D major) he was trying to say
For (F major) thirty years that red sports car
has (C major) driven my pain away (G major) (D major) (E minor) (D major) (C major) (G major)
(D major) (E minor) (A minor) (D major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(E minor) (A minor) (C major) (D major)
He said, (E minor) Billy, close your eye (D major) s,
(C major) get behind the wheel, (G major)
slip it (D major) into overdrive, (E minor)
(A minor) and get on out of here. (D major)
You (C major) can go to Mex (D major) ico
or (G major) just down (D major) the street
(E minor) You (A minor) can go as far (C major) as (D major) you can,
you (A minor) can go as far (C major) as (D major) you can,
you (A minor) can go as far (C major) as (D major)
(D major) you can dream (A minor) (D major)
You
