Verse 1
D 
Tommy and Joe,
they lived out their lives
A 
Bm 
amongst the wrenches and the
grease and the glass and the tires,
D 
ran a little garage on 65
A 
Bm 
and they pumped a little gas
to the cars that went by.
G 
On Saturday night, they shut it down,
A 
they sat on the steps
Bm 
and watched the cars roll into town.
A 
D 
Bm 
G 
Tommy and Joe, they lived out their lives
Bm 
and married to the wrenches
like husbands and wives.
D 
Didn't know nothin',
there was nothin' to know.
A 
Bm 
Except if it wouldn't run,
they could make it go.
G 
Grease on the floor, mud on the ground.
A 
Bm 
Fill it up, and shut it down.
G 
Tommy and Joe,
they never wanted much,
Bm 
just the ticking of the engine,
the slipping of the clutch,
G 
the breaking of the tires,
the whining of the wheels,
Bm 
G 
the driving of the pistons,
A 
Bm 
spark and fuel, oil and steel.
G 
D 
and then Detroit change the rules
A 
Bm 
fixing cars without any tools
D 
turn on the switches
Bm 
switch on the lights
look at the screen you're out of time
G 
lock up the door change the sign
A 
Bm 
shut off the pumps
G 
Tommy and Joe,
they never wanted much,
Bm 
just the ticket of the engine,
the slippin' of the clutch,
G 
the breakin' of the tires,
the windin' of the wheels,
Bm 
the drivin' of the piston,
G 
A 
Bm 
spark and fuel, oil and steel.
D 
Tommy and Joe, they lived out their lives
Bm 
in some old shack out in sixty -five
D 
Out on the porch with a bottle of rye,
Bm 
calling out the years
of the cars that went by
G 
Blood on your knuckles,
a twinkle in your eye,
A 
number nine cylinders,
Bm 
a little dry
G 
Tommy and Joe,
they never wanted much,
Bm 
just the ticking of the engine,
the slipping of the clutch,
G 
the breaking of the tires,
the winding of the wheels,
Bm 
the driving of the Piston,
G 
A 
Bm 
spark, and fuel, oil, and steel,
G 
A 
spark, and fuel, oil,
Bm 
Em 
Bm 
and steel.
Thanks so much.
So, you know, every, uh...
