[Dm][E]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Well[G] I got a little pick[Dm]up
It [F]used to [Am]be a Fo[C]rd
It's quite a little [F]sweetie,
got a [Am]four on the floor
All the [D]fellas used to race me
[Am]But they don't anymore
'Cause lately at the red
[F]line [Am]she just stalls
[E]Nothing hap[F]pens when
I put it [Dm]to the [Am]bar
[E]Might [Am]be the alternator
Could be [F]the coil[Am][Dm]
[Am][F][Dm][F][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[F]Well I got a [F#dim]little gal lives do[Am]wn the line
I [C]pick her up every [F#m]night [F]at a
[F#m]quarter [D]to nine[Am]
[D]Lately [Bm]when I [D]get there she
don't want to [B]go
She said shes [Am]tired of walk
[F#m]ing all the wa[Dm]y home
I [Am]said, [E]"I can ex[F]plain"
[Dm]She said, [D]"I [Am]know it [E]might be [Am]the alternator could be
[F]the coil"

Might be the alternator [Dm]could be the coil
[Am]Something gone wrong

[Dm]
My mama [Am]lives just around [C]the corner
I take her [D]to church[F#dim]

Last [Dm]Saturday [D]night she [Dm]called me up
[Am]Said, "Tomorrow [A]son [Am]I think I'll walk,
[E]you got troubles [F#m]of you[A]r own[Am]"

Said it [Am]might [A]be the alternator
[Dm]could be [F]the coil
Might be the alternator could be the coil
Might be the alternator
Might be the alternator
Might [Faug]be the a[Dm]lternator
[F]Could be [Dm]the coil
