Jaguar and Thunderbird Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Cho[C]rus: Slow down, little Jaguar

[Verse 2]
Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford
[C]Ten miles stretch on an Indiana road
T'was a sky blue Jaguar and
a Thunderbird Ford
Jaguar setting on ninety nine
Tryin' to beat the Bird to the county line
Just a a a half-a-mile from
Newtonville
There had a speed sign sitting
at the top of the hill
It said : "35 miles, and stay in line"
But the Jaguar and Thunderbird
never read the sign

[Verse 3]
Chorus
[C]
Ludenville was a real small [G]town
Had [C]a hundred and two
And nine acres of ground
Some stool pigeon put the sheriff wise
Told him "Park down
in Newtonville
And catch 'em guys"
Sheriff laid down,
half hid in the weed[G]s
[C]Parked for eight days,
didn't nobody [G]speed
[C]All of a sudden, dust rose on the road
Said "Here come the Jaguar
and Thunderbird [G]Ford"
[C]Chorus

[Verse 4]
[C]Sheriff doubled clutched second,
put it in third
Took right after the Jaguar
and Thunderbird
He knew he'd get a bonus and a big fat fine
If he caught 'em 'fore
they crossed that county line
Sheriff never drove his car
a hundred and flat
But if he aimed to get 'em
He'd have to do more than that
Crest of the hill,
he's about a mile behind
There wasn't but two mor miles
to the county line
Chorus

[Verse 5]
[C]Old Sheiff was countin' on
the downward grade
With the tall wind pushin',
he had it made
Thunderbird saw the Jaguar
gainin' speed
And waved "Goodbye,
Jaguar" and pulled in the lead
Jaguar said "You ain't won
the race yet"
And pulled back around the Bird
like a sabre jet
Sheriff's front bumper
was a yard behind
When the T-Bird,

[Verse 6]
Jaguar Jaguar crossed the line
[C]Slow down little Jaguar,
Keep cool little Thunderbird
Ford

[Outro 1]
(repeat and fade)
[C]
