This is a great(and simple) song that I figured out today.
It's by the Bottle Rockets. I cannot believe these guys don't
get more radio play! Anyway, my name is Steve Brownell and
this is for Hilary.
Em G D C x2
Em G
Thousand dollar car it ain't worth nothin'
D C
Thousand dollar car it ain't worth sh*t.
Em G
Might as well take your $1000,
D C
and set fire to it.
Em G
$1000 car ain't worth a dime,
D C
You lose your $1000 every time.
Em D
Oh why did I ever buy,
Em
a $1000 car.
Em G
$1000 car is gonna let you down,
D C
More than it's ever gonna get you around.
Em G
Replace your gaskets and paint over your rust,
D C
You'll still end up with something that you'll never trust.
Em G
$1000 car's life was through,
D C
'bought 50,000 miles 'fore it got to you.
Em D
Oh why did I ever buy,
Em
a $1000 car.
D
A $1000 car ain't even gonna roll,
G C
til you throw at least another thousand in the hole.
D
Sink your money in it, and there you are
C D
the owner of a 2,000 dollar 1,000 dollar car.
(guitar solo)
Em G
If you've only got a $1000.
D C
You ought to just buy a good guitar.
Em G
Learn how to play it it'll take you farther,
D C
than any old $1000 car.
Em G
If a $1000 car was truly worth a damn,
D C
then why would anybody ever spend ten grand.
Em D
Oh why did I ever buy,
Em
a thousand dollar car.
