The One I Loved Back Then

Biography:

Capo II

[intro]
F C G C

C
I stopped off at the Quicksack
G7 C
For some beer and cigarettes
F C
The old man took my money
G7
As he stared at my Corvette
C F
He said, I had one just like her son, a 1963
C G7 C
'Til the man down at the bank took her from me

[Chorus]
Oh, She was hotter than a two dollar pistol
F C
She was the fastest thing around
F C
Long and lean every young man's dream she turned every head
G7
in town
C
She was built in from the handles son,
F
I'm glad that you dropped in
C G7 C
She reminds me of the one I loved back then

[Instrumental]
C
Then, I handed him my keys and said,
G7 C
Here take her for a spin,
F C
The old man scratched his head, and said
G7
Then he looked at me and grinned
C
He said son you just don't understand
F
It ain't the car I want
C G7 C
It's the brunette in your 'vette that turns me on

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
She reminds me of the one I loved back then...
