Introduction:
C G Am F Am G
God made the automobile to pass all the pretty girls
C G Am F Am G
That smoke by the side of the road, their blues loving boys in tow
C G Am F Am G
To drive until the end of the day and bow to a borrowed flag
C G Am F Am G
Beside all the brave and the blind, and men without men in mind
F C G
To pass all the things he made
C G Am
But then never bothered to name
F C G
And no one will tell the truth
C G Am
And no one will hide it from you
F C G
Like birds around the grave
verse 2
C G Am F Am G
God made the automobile and I made a little boy
C G Am F Am G
To pass all the blissfully young, the snake with a forked tongue
C G Am F Am G
That preys on the wanting for time and makes in the sleepless waves
C G Am F Am G
The fear of the black and the Jew and blood for the camera crew
F C G
To pass all the things he made
C G Am
But then never bothered to name
F C G
And no one will tell the truth
C G Am
And no one will hide it from you
F C G
Like birds around the grave
