D 
Mr. Smith had an Oldsmobile 
G 
Baby blue with wire wheels 
D                                           A7 
He took her home the day that she was advertised 
D 
He said she leaked when it would rain 
G 
Sounded like an aeroplane 
D                     A7            D 
But I knew she was a jewel in disguise 
A7 D G She had a 455 Rocket The biggest block alive D A7 I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn D She was made for the straight aways G She grew up hatin' Chevrolets D A7 D She's a rocket, she was made to burn
Well whose junkpile piece of Chevelle is this? Did you Boys come here to race or just kiss? Hmmm Don't you want to know what I got underneath my hood? I know she might sound like she's missing But buddy, she could teach you a lesson In just a quarter mile, and I'll smoke you good In my 455 rocket The kind the police drive I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn She was made for the straight aways She grew up hatin' Chevrolets She's a rocket, she was made to burn I'm telling you and I ain't ashamed I cried when that wrecker came As we skid I thought I heard angels sing We hit the curve and began to sail Took out most the safety rail Even the cop asked me, 'Man what'd you have in that thing?' I had a 455 rocket The very kind you drive You oughta watch yourself when you take that turn She was made for the straight aways She grew up hatin' Chevrolets She's a rocket, she was made to burn, burn Lord she's a rocket, she was made to burn. We do sing and play your USA music in Aussie Land.
