Chevy Van--Waylon Jennings
written by Sammy Johns
corrections welcome.
NOTE: INTRO and VERSE chords are really a series of A and Asus2, but I didn't
write it down because it's hard to get the rhythm right. Listen to the record,
or get your own feel for it. And yes, I'm pretty sure this version is different
than Sammy Kershaw's. I don't know about the original.
Capo I
INTRO: A/Asus2
[A/Asus2]I gave a girl a ride in my wagon
She crawled in and took control
She was tired 'cause her mind was a-dragging
I said "get some sleep and dream of rock n roll"
CHORUS 1:
[A]Like a picture she was layin' there
Moonlight dancin' o[E]ff her hair
She woke up and took me [D]by the hand
She's gonna love me in[Bm] my Chevy Van and t[D]hat's alri[E]ght with [A]me
Her young face was like that of an angel
Her long legs were tan and brown
You better keep your eyes on the road son
Better slow this vehicle down
CHORUS 1
SOLO
I put her out in a town that was so small
You could throw a rock from end to end
A dirt road mainstreet she walked off in her barefeet
It's a shame I won't be passin' through again
CHORUS 2:
Like a picture she was layin' there
Moonlight dancin' off her hair
She woke up and took me by by the hand
We made love in my Chevy Van and that's alright with me
CHORUS 2
Hey girl, you wanna ride in the back of my van?
I'll give you some chocolate candy.

ABb x13331
Asus2Bbsus2 x13311
