Key: F major•
Verse 1
And I went to Detroit
C
Gm
In the first year they had me
C
Gm
F
putting wheels on Cadillacs
And everyday I'd watch
Gm
F
one that was long and black
One day I devised myself a plan
Cm
C
I'd sneak it out there
Gm
F
in a lunchbox in my hand
Now getting caught meant getting fired
by the time I retired
Gm
F
with at least a hundred grand
I'll get it one piece at a time
C
F
when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style,
C
F
one there is around
So the very next day when I punched in
Bb
F
with my big lunchbox
Gm
F
full of gears
Now I never considered myself a thief
Bb
F
And Jim wouldn't miss just
one little piece
Bb
Cm
Gm
Especially if I strung it out
Cm
Gm
F
over several years
The first day I got me a fuel pump
an engine and a trunk
Gm
F
and all of the chrome
The little things I could get
out of my big lunchbox
and all four shocks
I'll give it one piece at a time
C
F
when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
C
F
one there is around
I'll hop to now, my plan went all right
together one night
Gm
F
that something was definitely wrong
The transmission was a 53
Gm
F
all the holes were gone
So we drilled it out so it would fit
Bb
And with a little bit of help of an adapter kit
Now the headlights was another side
and one on the right
I'll get it one piece at a time
C
F
when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
C
F
one there is around
The back end looked kinda funny too
and when we got through
Gm
F
that we only had one tail fin
About that time my wife walked out
that she had her doubts
and said
C
F
Honey, take me for a spin
So we drove uptown just to get the tags
Bb
And I hit her right down on the main drag
But up there at the courthouse,
they didn't laugh
it took the whole set
I'll give everyone a piece of the time
C
F
when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
Bb
C
Cause I'll have the only one there
