The Godzilla Attacks Tokyo Kamikaze Blues Band - Jalopy With One Headlight

[Intro]
A A A A D D A A E D A A E

[Verse]
A
I’m heading down the road with only one headlight
A
You asked me to come over in the middle of the night
A
Car wouldn’t start and I was low on gas
A
But thinking bout you got me up off my ass
D
Finally got her started and got out on the road
D
But little did I know I wouldn’t get very far from home
A
She was so hard to handle and putting up a fight
A
Driving my jalopy with one headlight

[Chorus]
E
Old jalopy with one headlight
D
If you see her on the road you’ll be thinking what a site
A
Old jalopy with one headlight
A E
I wish could have left her home tonight

[Verse]
A
Pulled in for gas steam coming out her hood
A
I thought to myself “well that ain’t looking good”
A
I filled up the tank and got back on the road
A
But only moments later I thought she would explode
D
I gave her more gas and held my breath
D
I prayed to the lord that he would do the rest
A
Just when I thought I might not see you tonight
A
A rumble in my jalopy set things right

[Chorus]
E
Old jalopy with one headlight
D
If you see her on the road you’ll be thinking what a site
A
Old jalopy with one headlight
A E
I wish could have left her home tonight

[Solo]
A A A A D D A A E D A A E

[Verse]
A
I finally saw your house up around the bend
A
She was rumbling and smoking until the very end
A
I pulled into the driveway and turned her off
A
I swore to myself I heard her cough
D
The smell of burning oil filled my nose
D
Then I heard a bang and she started to explode
A
I ran for your door and I ducked my head
A
Wishing you had never dragged me out of my bed

[Chorus]
E
Old jalopy with one headlight
D
If you see her on the road you’ll be thinking what a site
A
Old jalopy with one headlight
A E
I wish could have left her home tonight

[Outro]
A A
Old jalopy with one headlight, Old jalopy with one headlight
A A
Old jalopy with one headlight, If you see her on the road you’ll be thinking what a site
D D
Old jalopy with one headlight, Old jalopy with one headlight
A A
Old jalopy with one headlight, Old jalopy with one headlight
E
Old jalopy with one headlight
D
If you see her on the road you’ll be thinking what a site
A
Old jalopy with one headlight
A E A End on A
I wish could have left her home tonight
