Verse 1, Chorus, Verse 2, Chorus, Verse 3, Chorus (x2)
To the tune of Jingle bells.
[Verse 1]
G
Dashing through the snow
C
In my rusty Chevrolet
Am D7
Down the road I go
G
Sliding all the way
I need new piston rings
C
I need some new snow tires
Am G
My car is held together
D7 G
By a piece of chicken wire
[Chorus]
D7 G
Oh, rust and smoke
The heater's broke
The door just blew away
C G
I light a match to see the dash
A7 D7
And then I start to pray...
G
The frame is bent
The muffler went
The radio's okay
C G
Oh, what fun it is to drive
D7 G
This rusty Chevrolet
[Verse 2]
G
I went to IGA
C
To get some Christmas cheer
Am D7
I just patched up my left front tire
G
And it's gettin' hard to steer
Skidding down the highway
C
Right past the county cops
D7
I have to drag my swampers
G
To get the car to stop
[Chorus]
D7 G
Oh, rust and smoke
The heater's broke
The door just blew away
C G
I light a match to see the dash
A7 D7
And then I start to pray...
G
The frame is bent
The muffler went
The radio's okay
C G
Oh, what fun it is to drive
D7 G
This rusty Chevrolet
[Verse 3]
G
Bouncing through the snow drifts
C
In a big, blue cloud of smoke
D7
People laugh as I drive by
G
I wonder what's the joke
I have to get to Wal-Mart
C
To pick up my layaway
D7
'Cause Santa's comin' soon
G
In his big, old, rusty sleigh
[Chorus] (x2)
D7 G
Oh, rust and smoke
The heater's broke
The door just blew away
C G
I light a match to see the dash
A7 D7
And then I start to pray...
G
The frame is bent
The muffler went
The radio's okay
C G
Oh, what fun it is to drive
D7 G
This rusty Chevrolet
