Howdy y'all, I'm Pokey of The Stew Dogs and I think Fred Eaglesmith's
Mighty Big Car is played like this here. I'm a rhythem guitarist, and tend
to think more about the strumming than the chord changes, so I like to
simplify whenever I can. I cannot read music, and do not have an "ear" for
what note anything is. Still, it seemed to come out pretty good when I
played it like this...
Mighty Big Car
by Fred Eaglesmith
[Em]Down on the corner, up on the avenue,
People are pointin', calling out after you.
[Am]Hands on their hips, their eyes geting wider
They can't believe the thing that yer drivin'
[Em]28 feet from bumper to bumper
The last of the sweet old time gas guzzlers
[Am]Hard to drive harder to park But
when you do somebody remarks
[Em]That's a mighty big car
[Am]That's a mighty big car
[Em]That's a mighty big car
Elvis had one and so did Hank
It don't look like money
It looks like the bank
Makes a scene every time you stop it
Rides like a dream
Goes like a rocket
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car
Headlights thick as mason jars
Everybody says that it looks like Mars
Shiner than a country star
And nothing ever looked as good in your front yaaaaaaaard
Brighter than an aluminum trailer
Curvy windshields and tinted mirrors
Grill looks like a cafe sign
And the whitewalls drive ya out of yer mind
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car
