Don Valley Parkway Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Driving out of Toronto,
in a hot noonday sun,
I was [Em]pushing my VW on
[G]Highway [D]401.
Passing trucks, ladybugs,
and [Em]having lots of fun
I was [A]trying to reach the sandy beach
before [G]the day was [D]done
Then I incurred a car sickness
that [Em]wasn't very kind
Next [A]time I leave my swimming suit,
just [G]hang there on [D]the [A]line.
I've got those [D]Don Valley Parkway blues,
my [G]head down to my shoes.
I got [D]stuck behind an 18 [Bm]-hour [E]line
of nuts and [A]screws.
I was [D]sarcastic, flabbergasted,
[G]claustrophobic too.
[D]Well, there ain't too
much that you can do
when you've got Don [A]Valley [D]blues.
Had an arthritic cop
who was [G]waving us to stop
We had [D]cars in 8 direc[B]tions
through [E]the [A]intersection
It was a [D]traffic jam to say the least
But we [G]had the best met[Gm]ro police [G]to
[D]Tell us not to be uptight,
we could [A]start our [D]cars tonight
Got those Dombay Parkway blues
from my [G]head down to my shoes
I got [D]stuck behind an [B]18 hour [E]line
of nuts and [A]screws
I was [D]sarcastic, clappercastic,
[G]claustrophobic too
[Gm]Well, there [D]ain't too
much that you can do
when you got down Valley
[G]Blues.[D][B]
[E][A][D][G][D]
I had my picnic lunch alone,
and a [G]pen to write this song.
I [D]played a little [B]frisbee
with [E]my newfound good [A]friends
We were [D]exhausted, sun accosted,
[G]tired and hungry too
[D]Bathing on that concrete beach
on the [A]Don Valley [D]Zoo
I got those Don Valley Parkway blues
from my [G]head down to my shoes
I got [D]stuck behind an [B]18 hour [E]line
of nuts and [A]screws
I was [D]sarcastic, flabbergasted,
[G]claustrophobic too
Well there [D]ain't too much that
you can do
when you [G]got Don Valley [D]Blues[A]
[D][A][G][D][B][E][A][D]
[G][Gm][D][G]
[D]It was about nightfall,
we fi[G]nally got the call
They were [D]closing all the [B]exits
for construc[E]tion [Em]till next [A]fall
We were [D]homesteaders,
come and get us,
[G]residents per [Gm]se
[D]My home is a parking lot
on the [A]Dunn Valley Parkway

[Outro 1]
