   G                          Cadd9              G 
My daddy had a Pontiac on the beige-er side of yellow 
G  G/F#  Em7                Cadd9      D      G 
He was a young man then and I was a little fella 
G                                    Cadd9                    G 
I'd play in that bench back seat and listen to the songs get sung 
G           G/F#    Em7                       D           Cadd9       G 
He couldn't carry a tune in a bucket but he'd sing at the top of his lungs 

G Em7 Cadd9 G Carry on my wayward son on a hippie radio G Em7 D Songs about the flower babies and the birth of rock and roll G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 G And I was band and I would stand and we'd bounce down the road G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 D G A boy and his dad in a Pontiac with that hippie radio

G Em7 Cadd9 G It was White Wedding and Rebel Yell on the hippie radio G Em7 D I was Werewolf in London, and she was Lady Marmalade's soul G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 D G And I'd crank the band, take her hand and we'd pull off back a road G G/F# Em7 Cadd9 D G A boy and his girl in a Pontiac, and the hippie radio
