1000 Dollar Car

	  		This is a great(and simple) song that I figured out today. 
It's by the Bottle Rockets. I cannot believe these guys don't 
get more radio play! Anyway, my name is Steve Brownell and  
this is for Hilary. 
 
Em  G  D C x2 
 
Em                             G  
Thousand dollar car it ain't worth nothin' 
D                                C 
Thousand dollar car it ain't worth shit. 
Em                              G 
Might as well take your $1000, 
D                  C 
and set fire to it. 
Em                     G      
$1000 car ain't worth a dime, 
D                             C 
You lose your $1000 every time. 
Em                     D 
Oh why did I ever buy, 
Em 
a $1000 car. 
Em                        G 
$1000 car is gonna let you down, 
D                                   C 
More than it's ever gonna get you around. 
Em                                  G 
Replace your gaskets and paint over your rust, 
D                                                            C 
You'll still end up with something that you'll never trust. 
Em               G          
$1000 car's life was through, 
D                                      C 
'bought 50,000 miles 'fore it got to you. 
Em                     D 
Oh why did I ever buy, 
Em 
a $1000 car. 
D 
A $1000 car ain't even gonna roll, 
G                                        C 
til you throw at least another thousand in the hole. 
D 
Sink your money in it, and there you are 
C                                      D      
the owner of a 2,000 dollar 1,000 dollar car. 
(guitar solo) 
Em                       G 
If you've only got a $1000.  
D                                          C                      
You ought to just buy a good  guitar.  
Em                             G 
Learn how to play it it'll take you farther,  
D                          C 
than any old $1000 car. 
Em                                       G 
If a $1000 car was truly worth a damn, 
D                                          C 
then why would anybody ever spend ten grand. 
Em                     D 
Oh why did I ever buy, 
Em 
a thousand dollar car.
