Tommy & Joe Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Tommy and Joe,
they lived out their lives
[A]amongst the [Bm]wrenches and the
grease and the glass and the tires,
[D]ran a little garage on 65
and [A]they [Bm]pumped a little gas
to the cars that went by.
On [G]Saturday night, they shut it down,
they [A]sat on the steps
and watched the cars roll into [Bm]town.
[A]Tommy [D]and Joe, the[Bm]y liv[G]ed out their lives
and mar[Bm]ried to the wrenches
like husbands and wives.
Did[D]n't know nothin',
there was nothin' to know.
[A]Excep[Bm]t if it wouldn't run,
they could make it go.
[G]Grease on the floor, mud on the ground.
[A]Fill it up, and shut it dow[Bm]n.
[G]Tommy and Joe,
they never wanted much,
just the [Bm]ticking of the engine,
the slipping of the clutch,
the [G]breaking of the tires,
the whining of the wheels,
the driv[Bm]ing of the pistons[G],
spark and [A]fuel, oil and [Bm]steel.
and then De[G]troit [D]change the rules
[A]fix[Bm]ing cars without any tools
[D]turn on the switches
switch on the light[Bm]s
look at the screen you're out of time
[G]lock up the door change the sign
[A]shut off the [Bm]pumps
[G]Tommy and Joe,
they never wanted much,
just the [Bm]ticket of the engine,
the slippin' of the clutch,
the [G]breakin' of the tires,
the windin' of the wheels,
the driv[Bm]in' of the piston,
[G]spark and [A]fuel, oil and [Bm]steel.
[D]Tommy and Joe, they lived out their lives
in [Bm]some old shack out in sixty -five
[D]Out on the porch with a bottle of rye,
[Bm]calling out the years
of the cars that went by
[G]Blood on your knuckles,
a twinkle in your eye,
num[A]ber nine cylinders,
a little [Bm]dry
[G]Tommy and Joe,
they never wanted much,
just the [Bm]ticking of the engine,
the slipping of the clutch,
the [G]breaking of the tires,
the winding of the wheels,
the driv[Bm]ing of the Piston,
[G]spark, and [A]fuel, oil, and [Bm]steel,
[G]spark, and [A]fuel, oil,
[Bm]and steel.[Em][Bm]
Thanks so much.
So, you know, every, uh...
