Dear Dad Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Dea[Gm]r Dad[C], don't get [Cm]mad,
What I'm asking for
Is by the next semester
Can I [F]get another car [Cm]?
This one here is sick'ning
On a [F]wide dual road.
I [Gm]might as [G]well be walking
[Gm]As to drive this o[Bb]ld Fo[Gm]rd.
[Bb]Al

[Verse 2]
[Cm]most everytime I try
To go and pass a truck,
If I ain't goin' down hill,
[F]Dad, I'm, out of [Gm]luck.
And [Cm]even if I get by,
It's [F]still a rugged risk,
The [Gm]way this old Ford

[Interlude 1]
Keep a hitting and a miss.

[Verse 3]
[Cm]Last week when I was driving
On my way to school,
I almost got a ticket
'Bout a [F]freeway traffic [Gm]rule.
[F]It's now[Cm] a violation
Driving [F]under forty-five,
And And [Gm]if I push to fifty,
This here Ford [Bb]will nosedive.

[Verse 4]
[Cm]Dad, I'm in great danger
Out here trying to drive.
The way this Ford wiggles
[C]When I'm [F]ap proaching forty-five
I [Cm]have to nurse it along
Like a [F]little stubborn pup,
And [Gm]cars whizzing by me,
Dad, look like I'm [Bb]backing [Gm]up.

[Verse 5]
She [Cm]just don't have the appetite
For gas somehow,
And Dad, I got four carburetors
[F]Hooked up on it now.
I [Cm]tried to hook another
To see if I'd [F]do a little good,
But [C]ain't no place to put it
'Less I [G]perfor[Bb]ate the [C]hood.
[Bb]Well

[Verse 6]
[C]Dad, [Cm]send the money,
See what I can see,
Try to find a Cadillac,
A Six[F]ty-two or or [G]three.
[F]Just som[Cm]ething that won't worry us
To [F]keep it on the road.
Sin[G]cerely, your beloved son,
Henry Junior [C]Ford
