[Verse 1]
[G]uncle [Gsus4]has a country p[G]lace
That [Em]no one knows about
He [F]says it used to [G]be a farm
Before [Gsus4]the Motor Law
[G]And now[C] on Sun[G]days,

And [Em]hop the turbine freight
To [F]far outside the wire [G]where my

An [Eb]old mac[F]hine
For fifty-odd years

To [Eb]keep [F]it [Bb]as ne[Eb]w
Has [F]been [Bb]his d[Eb]earest dream
[Bb]

[Verse 3]
[G]I strip away the old debris
That [Em]hides a shining car
A [F]brilliant [Em]Red Barchetta
[F]From a [C]better vanished [G]time
