Jerry Reed – Who Was The Man Who Put The Line In Gasoline (Guitar)

A
Well, I was waitin' in line for my turn to get gas

D
And I was number 87 and moving up real fast

G
Then I happened to notice about four cars back

C
There was a wild red-eyed man in a big blue Cadillac

A
He said "I've been to damn every station in this town

D7                           F        D
And my mind is about to go and my resistance is down

A
And my brain is gettin' fuzzy and patience worn out"

                                           G         C
Then he climbed up on his hood and we all heard him shout

F                C               Am       G
Oh, Who was the man who put the line in gasoline

F             C                       E    Am
President or chairman or is there an Arab King

               C     C                    Am
Was it just a crude joke or was it more obscene

Am               D                        C   C
Oh, Who was the man who put the line in gasoline

A
Well, Meanwhile back in line things were creppin' real fine

D
An 18 foot motor home changed owners three times

G
A lady who got pregnant back by the speed bump

C
Had given birth to twins by the time she reached the pump

A
A Bar Mitzvah in a Lincoln and a wedding in a Jeep

D7                                         F      D
And this old dude in an Edsel just kept falling asleep

A                                                   D
Well, They came to get the man in the Cadillac and him away

                                   G    C
A' Kickin' and a' and we all heard him say

F                C               Am       G
Oh, Who was the man who put the line in gasoline

F             C                       E    Am
President or chairman or is there an Arab King

               C     C                    Am
Was it just a crude joke or was it more obscene

Am               D                        C   C
Oh, Who was the man who put the line in gasoline

A
Well, It seened like days later when I topped off my tank

D
I shelled out 20 dollars and some fella mumbled "Thanks"

G
Well, I stepped into the drivers seat and started to drive

C
When the right door flew open and this guy crawled inside

A
And on his face he mask and in his hand he had a gun

D7                          F         D
He said "This is premeditated highway robbery son"

           A                D
Then he pulled a can and a syphon hose from under his mask

                G              G               C         C
And he said "You can keep your wallet but handover the gas"

F                C               Am       G
Oh, Who was the man who put the line in gasoline

F             C                       E    Am
President or chairman or is there an Arab King

               C     C                    Am
Was it just a crude joke or was it more obscene

Am               D                        C   C
Oh, Who was the man who put the line in gasoline

             Am              D                   C
Now tell me who was the man who put the line in gas-

     C                     C    C
To do this to us it just ain't human

     C               C           C
The gas is gone and now we're fumin'

Am   D        G         C
Who put the line in gasoline son
