small motors Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Well he bang on this,
and bang on [G]that
He'd adjust the timing
[D]Turn the mag and set the scr[A]ew
Then he'd fix the idle
Fi[D]nally he'd make 'em run
[G]As good as they were
gonna [D]be
[A]And everything you knew you know
He taught it [D]all [A]to me
And he liked [D]small motors
[G]Fly wheels on the[D] side
Single piston [A]engines
made out of cast iron
He liked [D]small motors
He'd [G]start 'em one by [D]one
We'd stand around and we'd listen
To [A]them little engines [D]run

[Verse 2]
And [D]he wore railroad coveralls
With [G]his name written on [D]the chest
We talked Model A's [A]and T's
While he rolled cigarettes
And [D]we'd get lost inside our thoughts
And we'd [G]let those tanks run [D]dry
And one by one those little en[A]gines
Sputter and they'd [D]die
And he liked small motors
[G]Fly wheels on [D]the side
[A]Sin[D]gle piston eng[A]ines
made out of cast iron
He liked [D]small motors
He'd [G]start 'em one by [D]one
We'd stand around and we'd listen
To [A]them little engines [D]run

[Verse 3]
[D]Boys I know you're in your suits
And you've [G]come to say goodbye
[D]And I can tel[A]l you miss him too
By the tears in your eyes
But I'm [D]asking you a favor
By a [G]boy who's brokenhearted
[D]Help me get these suckers dow[A]n
Help me get 'em star[D]ted
And he liked small motors
[G]Fly wheels on [D]the side
Single piston [A]engines
made out of cast iron
He liked [D]small motors
He'd [G]start 'em one by [D]one
We'd stand around and we'd listen
To [A]them [D]lit[A]tle engines run[D][A]
