The Bottle Rockets
1000 Dollar Car
>From the album The Brooklyn Side
Attempted transcription by Joe Wachtel
The verse chords seem to be ////////////
The chorus chords are //
The bridge chords are ///////G////
////////////
A thousand dollar car it ain t worth nothin
A thousand dollar car it ain t worth shit
Might as well take your thousand dollars
And set fire to it
A thousand dollar car ain t worth a dime
You lose your thousand dollars every time
Oh why did I ever buy
A thousand dollar car
A thousand dollar car is gonna let you down
More than it s ever gonna get you around
Replace your gaskets and paint over your rust
You ll still end up with something that you ll never trust
A thousand dollar car s life was through
Bout fifty thousand miles before it got to you
Oh why did I ever buy
A thousand dollar car
Bridge
A thousand dollar car ain t gonna roll
Until you put at least another thousand in the hole
Sink your money in it , and there you are
The owner of a two thousand dollar thousand dollar car
Verse 3
If you only got a thousand dollars
You might as well buy a good guitar
Learn how to play, it ll get you farther
Than any old thousand dollar car
If a thousand dollar car was to worth a damn
Then why would anybody ever spend ten grand
Oh why did I ever buy
A thousand dollar car
That s it. Hope everyone enjoys it.
