Verse 1
D
A
D
The summer sun was beating down
G
D
Oh pity would it show
George Chester's office air conditioner
G
E

Would no longer go
G
D
He had one reverie
He saw himself with his wife and kids
A
D
In his cottage by the sea
Verse 2
G
D
Which gave the poor man chills
The attendant laughed and
walked away
G
E
A
Thumbing a roll of bills
trembling hands
G
D
At the end of a long, hard day
And placing himself in the hands of God
D
A
D
Verse 3
The traffic stretched
far as the eye can see
G
D
As bumper to bumper they sped
They drove at supernatural speeds
G
E
A
Which filled his heart with dread
for an hour or more
G
D
And a thousand horns would blow
George Chester's eyes
rolled back in his head
A
D
And his poor brain started to go
Verse 4
G
D
And he laid his money down
He took the fist turn to the right
G
E
A
And he followed the curve around
G
D
He followed every sign
And when he came back
to the same toll gate
A
D
He gave them another dime

Verse 5
G
A
D
His lips and throat were dry
He swore by all that he held dear
G
E
A
He'd make it through or die
G
D
The clover leaf to go through
He was quite sure of his success
A
D
Till the toll gate rose in view
Verse 6
G
D
And the clover leaf is still
The sound of an engine can be heard
G
E
A
Laboring up the hill
G
D
In the cool of a summer's night
And eternally that poor car
A
D
Takes the first turn to the right
