Song: The Car Was The One Artist: Mark Knopfler Album: Get Lucky Open G tuning (DGDGBD) Chords: Cadd9/G (x02010) (2x2002) (x00000) (x22222) Intro: Cadd9/ (x4) In summer ’sixty-three I was staying alive hanging at the races hoping to drive. When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars I couldn’t get a pass so I went to the bar. I’m up in the corner nursing a beer who should come laughing and joking in here but Bobby Brown the winner of the sports car race with some friends and a girl man she lit up the place Bobby was wild boy one summer he knocked down motel wall with hammer. He’ do anything one night for bet he raced through the corn fields in Corvette. Cadd9/ I thought it’s got to be a thrill to be like that with the beautiful girl and be king of the track. But the truth is when all was said and done it was his Cobra I wanted the car was the one. It was his Cobra I wanted the car was the one. The car was the one the car was the one. Cadd9/ (x3)
