Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The mechanic raised up
from under my hood
He [G]shook his head and
said, "This ain't good
Your [Bm]timin' belt's [A]done shrunk
one size too [D]small
Those spark plug wires are a
little too long
[G]And your main
prodsponder's nearly gone
Your [Bm]injector ports [A]are stripped
and that [D]ain't all"

[Verse 2]
[D]"Your torque converter's
runnin' low on torque
And that [G]wa ter pump's
nearly down a quart
But we [Bm]caught it all [A]in time
so you're [D]in luck"
He said, "I've got the time
and I've got the parts
Just [G]give me the word and I'm ready to start
I [Bm]think we can bring her [A]in for
eight hundred [D]bucks"

[Verse 3]
But [G]don't be down[D]hearted,
I can [Bm]fix it f[A]or y[D]ou, sonny
[G]It won't take [D]too long,
it'll [Bm]just [A]take [D]money
[Eb]

[Verse 4]
Then he said,
"Ain't you that songwriter guy"
And I said, [Ab]"Yes I am," he said,
"So am I"
He [Cm]sat down and played m[Bb]e a song
by the grease [Eb]rack
When he finished singin' he
gave me a smile
[Ab]And I closed my eyes
and pondered awhile
[Cm]He said, "What do you think
[Bb]Now don't hold nothin' back"[Eb]

[Verse 5]
Well, I gave him my most [Eb]sorrowful
look
[Ab]And I said, "This song's
got a broken hook
I can [Cm]order you a new one [Bb]from Nashville
but it won't [Eb]be cheap
And I know you've been using
a cut rate thesaurus
'Cause [Ab]your adverbs are backed
up into your chorus
Now [Cm]your verse is runnin' [Bb]on verbs
that are way [Eb]too weak"
But [Ab]don't be downhearted,

[Verse 6]
[Eb]
I can [Cm]fix it f[Bb]or y[Eb]ou, sonny
[Ab]It won't take to[Eb]o long,
it'll [Cm]just [Bb]take money
[Eb]

[Verse 7]
[E]
And I said, "Hold on friend
now I'm not through
I hate [A]to be the one to give you the news
But [C#m]your whole melodic struc[B]ture's
done worked itself [E]loose
It's got so many dotted eighth notes in it
I'd keep [A]her under fifty
beats per minute
I mean, [C#m]that's just me talkin',
[B]it's really up to [E]you"

[Verse 8]
[E]"And you've got a bad
safety problem with
That [A]dominant chord with the
augmented fifth
[Baug]Just see how dangerously
high it raises you [E]up
So just go on over and work on my car
[A]I'll sit here by the fan and chances are
[C#m]I can straighten this thing out[B]
for..eigh..nine hundred [E]bucks"

[Verse 9]
But [A]don't be down[E]hearted,
I can [C#m]fix it fo[B]r yo[E]u, sonny
[A]It won't take [E]too [B]long
[C#m]

[Verse 10]
[B]
You guessed [E]it
[A]Well, It may be a hit
[B]I like it
