Hot Rod Lincoln Uke tab by Johnny Bond (Baritone Chords)

[Intro]
E A B E
 
[Verse 1]
E
Now you’ve heard the story of the hot rod race
A
When the Ford and the Mercury were setting the pace
E
That story is true I'm here to say
B
‘Cause I was driving that Model A
 
[Verse 2]
E
It's got a Lincoln motor and it’s really souped up
A
That Model A body makes it look like a pup
E
It's got eight cylinders use them all
B
With an overdrive that just won't stall
E
Got a four barrel carb and dual exhaust
A
Four eleven gears really get lost
E
Got safety tubes and I’m not scared
B
Brakes are good and the tires are fair
 
[Verse 3]
E
We left San Pedro late one night
A
The Moon and the stars were shinin’ bright
E
And that thing went flyin’ up the Grapevine Hill
B
We were passing cars like they were standing still
E
And all of a sudden like the flick of an eye
A
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
E
The mark was made that’s the car for me
B
But then the tail lights was all you could see
E
Well the fella’s ribbed me for being behind
A
So I started to make that Lincoln unwind
E
Took my foot off the gas man alive
B
I shoved it down into overdrive
 
[Verse 5]
E
But I wound it up to a 110
A
Twisted the speed-o-meter cable off hand
E
Had my foot be cleared the floor
B
Says that's all there is ain't no more
E
Went around the corner passed a truck
A
I crossed my fingers just for luck
E
The fenders clicking the guard rail posts
B
The guy beside me white as a ghost
E
I guess they thought I had lost a sense
A
The telephone posts looked like a picket fence
E
He said slow down I see spots
B
The lines on the road they just look like dots
E
Smoke was rolling out from the back
A
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
E
I knew I could catch him and I hope I could pass
B
When I did I’ll be short on gas
 
[Verse 6]
E
Went around the corner with the tires on the side
A
You could feel the tension man what a ride
E
I said hold on I got a license to fly
B
And the Cadillac pulled over and let me by
E
And all of a sudden the rod started knockin’
A
Down in the dips it started rockin’
E
I looked in the mirror the red light was blinkin’
B
The cops were there for my hot rod Lincoln
E
Well, they arrested me and they put me in jail
A
I told my Pop to throw my bail
E
He said son you gonna drive me to drinkin’
B
If you don’t quit drivin’ that hot rod Lincoln
