Verse 1
Well, (D major) (G major) I (A major) was waitin' in line
for my turn to get gas
And (D major) I was number 87
and movin' up real fast
(G major) Then I happened to notice
about four cars back
There was a (C minor) wild red -eyed (A flat major) man
(C minor) in a big blue Cadillac
(C major) He said, (A major) I've been to down
near every station in this town
And my (D major) mind's about to go
and my resistance is down
My (F major) brain's gettin' fuzzy
(F sharpdim) and my (C major) pa tience worn out (A major)
Then he climbed (D major) up on his hood,
and we (G major) all heard him shout
(C major) Oh, (F major) who was the man
who put the line in gasoline?
(C major) President, or (A minor) Chairman Oils, (D major)
or Aaron King? (G major)
Was (F major) it just a (C major) crude joke,
(E major) or is it more obscene? (A minor)
(G major) Oh, (C major) who was the (A minor) man
who (D major) put the line in (G major) gasoline? (C major) (A major) (D major) (G major) (C major)
Well, (A major) meanwhile, back in line,
things were creeping real fine
An (D major) 18 -foot motorhome
changed owners three times
A (G minor) lady who got (G major) pregnant
back by the speed bump
Had (C major) given birth to twins
by (C minor) the time (C major) she reached the pump
A (A major) bar mitzvah and a Lincoln
and a wind and a Jeep
And this (D major) old dude in an Edsel
just kept all in a sleep
Well, it (F major) came to get the man
(F sharpdim) in the Cadillac
an (G major) d take him away (A major)
A (D major) -kickin' and a -screamin'
and again (G major) we heard him say
(C major) Oh, (F major) who was the man
who put the line in gasoline (C major)
President or (A minor) chairman,
oil czar (D major) or arrow (G major) king
Was (F major) it just a (C major) crude joke
or (E major) is it more obscene? (A minor)
(G major) Oh, (C major) who was the (A minor) man
who put the line (D major) in (G major) gasoline? (C major) (A major) (D major) (G major)
(C major)
Well, (A major) it seemed like days later
when I topped off my tank
I (D major) shelled out twenty dollars
and some fella mumbled, thanks
Well, (G major) I slipped into the driver's seat,
started to drive
When the right (C major) door (C minor) flew open
and this guy crawled (C major) inside
And on his face (A major) he had a mask
and in hand he had a gun
He said, (D major) this is premeditated
highway robbery,
Then he pulled (F major) a can and a (F sharpdim) siphon hose
from (C major) under his mask
(A major) And he said, (D major) you can keep your wallet
but hand (G major) over the (C major) gas
Oh, (F major) who was the man
who put the line in gasoline?
(C major) President or (A minor) Chairman Oils (D major) or Earl King? (G major)
Was (F major) it just a (C major) crude joke
or (E major) is it more obscene? (A minor)
(G major) Who (C major) was the (A minor) man
who put the line (D major) in (G major) gasoline?
(C major) Tell me, who was the (A minor) man
who (G major) put the line (D major) in (G major) gas?
To do this to us, it just ain't hu (C major) man
The gas is gone and (C major) now we're human
Who (D major) put the line in gasoline, (C major) son?
