Deep Purple – Vavoom Ted The Mechanic (Guitar)

E
He was playing pool and drinking beer

E
Nothing more'n the occasional tear

E
But this man's life goes on (and) he gets greased

E
All over from time to time

E
At the strip joint, where we met

E
He said 'Hi, my name is Ted

E
See that one over there

E
That ball of thunder

E                     B
Every time she goes Vavoom

B
I wiggle in my chair

B                     E
Can I buy you a beer?

E
What a guy

E
'I've had a few myself' he said

E
'But I never quit when I'm ahead

E
Too many rules and regulations

E
Stupid laws designed by fools behind closed doors

E
And another thing I won't discuss is religion

E
It always causes a fight

B
Vavoom

B
There she goes again

B                           E
'How does she do that' said Ted

E
And he told me of those injustices (that)

E
He had suffered in his life

E
His wife and kids and boss and dogs

E
And neighbours raising cain and causing strife

E
They were forever whining

E
Bleating howling yapping screeching moaning crying

B
Vavoom

B
He fed them well

B
He keep them warm

E
Ted, Ted the mechanic!

E
Thing about Ted he didn't really care

E
Nothing much got in his hair

E
And the beauty of it was that he was right

E
He was big as a truck and fast as a door

E
 (what's that?) he was always right

E
The banjo player took a hike

E
What's that song I used to like

B
Vavoom

B
Big as a truck

B                       E
He was fast as a door - Ted

E
What a guy!

E
Ted the man, our Ted

E
Ted the man, our Ted

E
Ted the man, our Ted
