Chevy Step Side

[Intro ]
G D/F# Em7 C 

 
  G 
Bought it off a farmer for a couple grand 
D/F# 
Rust on the fender dents from a working man 
  C 
Bench seat torn radio barely played 
  C 
That key turned over like it knew my name 
   G 
Friday nights two lane blacktop 
  D/F# 
Windows down couldn't make it stop 
       C 
From taking me everywhere I wanted to go 
 C 
Back when life didn't move so slow 
               Em7 
Now there's a for sale sign leaning on the gate 
        D                                N.C. 
And I swear that truck still begging me to stay 
 

 
                  G 
That chevy step side 
  G 
Still smells like smoke and summer rain 
  D/F# 
Kisses in the cab early morn on the window pain 
  Em7 
Tailgate memories under Friday night lights 
  C 
Backed in by the field at the county line 
       G 
Yea I can use the money but man it don't feel right 
  D/F#                    Em7   C 
Letting go of who I was inside 
 C                    G    D/F# 
That old Chevy step side 
 

 
  G 
Parked it by the stadium homecoming game 
  D/F# 
My name on her jersey that smile on her face 
  C 
Snuck off early when the band played loud 
   C 
Laughing to loud trying not get found 
     G 
Cold beer sweating on the floor board mat 
  D/F# 
She said forever I believed in that 
  C 
Every mile marker every song 
  C 
That truck knew us before we went wrong 
           Em7 
Now she's long gone and I'm hanging on 
     D                           N.C. 
To steel and wheels and a country song 
 

 
                  G 
That chevy step side 
  G 
Still smells like smoke and summer rain 
  D/F# 
Kisses in the cab early morn on the window pain 
  Em7 
Tailgate memories under Friday night lights 
  C 
Backed in by the field at the county line 
       G 
Yea I can use the money but man it don't feel right 
  D/F#                    Em7   C 
Letting go of who I was inside 
 C                    G 
That old Chevy step side 

Instrumental 
G D/F# Em7 C 
 
 
              G 
Yea they say it's just a truck just metal and time 
         D/F# 
But it carried me through the best days of my life 
         Em7 
Every scratch every dent 
                               C 
Each ones a reminder of the places we been 
                 G 
That chevy step side yea it taught me how to drive 
                     D/F# 
How to love how to leave how to feel alive 
                Em7 
If I sell it tonight I'll be alright 
          C 
But I'll lose a piece of mine 
 

 
                  G 
That chevy step side 
  G 
Still smells like smoke and summer rain 
  D/F# 
Kisses in the cab early morn on the window pain 
  Em7 
Tailgate memories under Friday night lights 
  C 
Backed in by the field at the county line 
       G 
Yea I can use the money but man it don't feel right 
  D/F#                    Em7   C 
Letting go of who I was inside 
  C                  G  D/F# Em7 C 
That old Chevy step side 
 

Outro 
    G 
I fold up the sign and toss it in the bed 
  D/F#                          Em7 C  G
