Intro 1
(B major) (Bdim) (F sharp major) (B major)
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
(B major) (B major) (C sharp major) (F sharp major) (B major)
Verse 1
Well, (B major) I'm not a man appointed judge
To (E major) bear ill-will and hold a grudge
But I (B major) think it's time
I said me a few choice (F sharp major) words
All about (B major) that demon automobile
A (E major) metal box with the polyglass wheel
The (B major) end result to a (F sharp major) dream of Henry Ford (B major)
Well (F sharp major) I've got a car that's mine alone
That (E major) me and the finance company own
A (B major) ready-made pile of manufactured (F sharp major) grief
And if I (B major) ain't out of gas in the pouring rain
I'm a- (E major) changin' a flat in a hurricane
I (B major) once spent three days (F sharp major) lost on a clover (B major) leaf
Well it (C sharp major) ain't just the smoke and the traffic jam
That makes me the bitter fool I am
But this four-wheel buggy is
A-dollaring me to death (F sharp major)
For gas (C sharp major) and oils and fluids and grease
And wires and tires and anti freeze
And them accessories
Well honey, that's something (F sharp major) else
Well you can get a (B major) stereo tape and a color TV
Get a (E major) back-seat bar and reclining seats
(B major) And just pay once a month,
like you do your (F sharp major) rent
Well (B major) I figured it up and over a period of time
This (E major) four thousand dollar car of mine
Costs (B major) fourteen thousand (F sharp major) dollars
And ninety-nine (B major) cents, well now

Chorus 1
(F sharp major) Lord Mr. Ford, I just (E major) wish that you could see (B major)
What your simple horseless carriage
has become (F sharp major)
Well it (B major) seems your contribution to man
To (E major) say the least, got a little out of hand
Well (B major) Lord Mr. (F sharp major) Ford what have you done (B major)
Solo 1
(B major) (B major) (C sharp major) (F sharp major) (B major)
Verse 2
Now the (B major) average American father and mother
Own (E major) one whole car and half another
(B major) And I bet that half a car is a
(F sharp major) Trick to buy, don't you
But the (B major) thing that amazes me, I guess
Is the (E major) way we measure a man's success
By the (B major) kind of automo (F sharp major) bile
he can afford (B major) to buy
Well now, (C sharp major) red light, green light, traffic cop
Right turn, no turn, must turn, stop
Get out the credit card honey,
we're out of (F sharp major) gas
Well now, (C sharp major) all the cars placed end to end
Would reach to the moon and back again
And there'd probably be some
Fool pull out to (F sharp major) pass
Well now, (B major) how I yearn for the good old days
With (E major) out that carbon monoxide haze
A- (B major) hanging over the roar of the interstate (F sharp major)
Well if the Lord (B major) that made
the moon and stars
Would have (E major) meant for me
and you to have cars
He'd have (B major) seen that
we were all (F sharp major) born with a parking (B major) space
Chorus 2
(F sharp major) Lord Mr. Ford, I just (E major) wish that you could see (B major)
What your simple horseless carriage
has become (F sharp major)
Well it (B major) seems your contribution to man
To (E major) say the least, got a little out of hand
Well (B major) Lord Mr. (F sharp major) Ford what have you done (B major)
Outro 1
Come a (B major) way with me Lucille
In my (C sharp major) smoking, choking (F sharp major) automobile (B major) (E major)
(B major) (B major) (C sharp major) (F sharp major) (B major)
Lord, Mr. Ford
