    Well, if you're one of the millions

    who own one of them

    gas-drinking, piston-clinking, air-polluting,

    smoke-belching, four-wheeled buggies

    from Detroit City, then pay attention

    I'm about to sing your song song
    G
    G

    D
    G

    Verse 1
    G

    Well, I'm not a man appointed judge
    C

    To bear ill-will and hold a grudge
    G

    But I think it's time
    D

    I said me a few choice words
    G

    All about that demon automobile
    C

    A metal box with the polyglass wheel
    G
    D
    G

    The end result to a dream of Henry Ford
    D

    Well I've got a car that's mine alone
    C

    That me and the finance company own
    G
    D

    A ready-made pile of manufactured grief
    G

    And if I ain't out of gas in the pouring rain
    C

    I'm a-changin' a flat in a hurricane
    G
    D
    G

    I once spent three days lost on a cloverleaf
    A

    Well it ain't just the smoke and the traffic jam

    That makes me the bitter fool I am

    But this four-wheel buggy is
    D

    A-dollaring me to death
    A

    For gas and oils and fluids and grease

    And wires and tires and anti freeze

    And them accessories
    D

    Well honey, that's something else
    G

    Well you can get a stereo tape and a color TV
    C

    Get a back-seat bar and reclining seats
    G

    And just pay once a month,
    D

    like you do your rent
    G

    Well I figured it up and over a period of time
    C

    This four thousand dollar car of mine
    G
    D

    Costs fourteen thousand dollars
    G

    And ninety-nine cents, well now
    Chorus 1
    D
    C
    G

    Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see

    What your simple horseless carriage
    D

    has become
    G

    Well it seems your contribution to man
    C

    To say the least, got a little out of hand
    G
    D
    G

    Well Lord Mr. Ford what have you done

    Verse 2
    G

    Now the average American father and mother
    C

    Own one whole car and half another
    G

    And I bet that half a car is a
    D

    Trick to buy, don't you
    G

    But the thing that amazes me, I guess
    C

    Is the way we measure a man's success
    G
    D

    By the kind of automobile
    G

    he can afford to buy
    A

    Well now, red light, green light, traffic cop

    Right turn, no turn, must turn, stop

    Get out the credit card honey,
    D

    we're out of gas
    A

    Well now, all the cars placed end to end

    Would reach to the moon and back again

    And there'd probably be some
    D

    Fool pull out to pass
    G

    Well now, how I yearn for the good old days
    C

    Without that carbon monoxide haze
    G
    D

    A-hanging over the roar of the interstate
    G

    Well if the Lord that made

    the moon and stars
    C

    Would have meant for me

    and you to have cars
    G

    He'd have seen that
    D
    G

    we were all born with a parking space
    Chorus 2
    D
    C
    G

    Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see

    What your simple horseless carriage
    D

    has become
    G

    Well it seems your contribution to man
    C

    To say the least, got a little out of hand
    G
    D
    G

    Well Lord Mr. Ford what have you done
    Outro 1
    G

    Come away with me Lucille
    A
    D
    G
    C

    In my smoking, choking automobile

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
