[Intro 1]
[D][C#][C#m][Bm][A][D][Bm]
[D]North [Bm]of

[Verse 1]
[D]
Cooper,
South of
Hawthorne,
Old
Shuggy farms the land.
Rustic farmer is no charmer,
Though he's [E]often tried his [A]hand.
He's made [D]passes at the lasseth,
Never [Em]quite came up to [E]farm.
[A]Till he saw that ring of gold,
And bought a clamp to mount a can[D].
It was rusted, it was busted,
this old [E]car wouldn't travel [B]far
[Em]But [A]it's true that
Farmer
Hugh had many a ride in that
old [D]car[Bm][A][D][Bm]
He didn't [D]tax it, or insure it,
in the normal way of things
Only insured that the doors were locked,
as
[E]Knightley taxed the [A]springs
It wasn't [D]cruel or noil or fuel,
service [Em]charges were quite thin
Each [A]day a box of chocolates
and a day a bottle of [D]gin
It was rusted, it was busted,
this old [E]car wouldn't [B]travel [E]far[Em]
[A]But it's true that
Farmer
Hugh had many a ride in that old
[D]car[A][Bm][A][D][Bm]
[D]Though [Bm]the motor[D] had no rotor,
and the engine never went
One night standin' in the backseat,
Juggie [Em]had an [A]accident
Movin' [D]up from first to second,
with a [Bm]mighty [Em]burst of speed
Real[A]ized his brakes had failed him,
and his big end had been [D]seized
It was rusted, it was busted,
this old car [E]wouldn't travel [B]far[Em]
[A]But it's true that, you and many a ride
in that old [D]car[A][Bm][A][D][Bm]
Though [D]we rode with precautions,
safety belts and all the lot
Orange juice, rice and confetti
soon were [E]for old
[Bm]Shubby's [A]lot
On the [D]day of matrimony,
his co [Em]-driver by his side
Senti[A]mental and nostalgic,
back to the car for one last [D]ride
It was rusted, it was busted,
this old car [Em]wouldn't travel [B]far[Em]
But [A]it's true that
Farmer
Hugh had many a ride in that
old [D]car[Bm][A][D][Bm][D]
Beep, beep, beep, beep.
