[Verse 1]
 C           G      Am   F              Am      G
God made the automobile to pass all the pretty girls

C                 G            Am          F          Am        G
That smoke by the side of the road, their blues loving boys in tow

C                   G          Am       F      Am         G
To drive until the end of the day and bow to a borrowed flag

C                 G            Am       F          Am        G
Beside all the brave and the blind, and men without men in mind
[Chorus]
     Dm           C        G
To pass all the things he made

      C           G          Am
But then never bothered to name

     Dm           C        G
And no one will tell the truth

      C           G          Am
And no one will hide it from you

     Dm       C        G
Like birds around the grave
[Verse 2]
 C           G      Am       F       Am      G
God made the automobile and I made a little boy

C              G            Am          F          Am        G
To pass all the blissfully young, the snake with a forked tongue

C                   G          Am       F      Am         G
That preys on the wanting for time and makes in the sleepless waves

C                 G            Am       F          Am        G
The fear of the black and the Jew and blood for the camera crew
[Chorus]
     Dm           C        G
To pass all the things he made

      C           G          Am
But then never bothered to name

     Dm           C        G
And no one will tell the truth

      C           G          Am
And no one will hide it from you

     Dm       C        G
Like birds around the grave
