[Verse 1]
A Mr. Smith had an Oldsmobile D Baby blue with wire wheels. A E7 I took her home the day that she was advertised A He said she leaked when it would rain D And sounded like, aeroplanes A E A E But I knew she was a jewel in disguise
[Chorus]
A D She had a 4---55 rocket, the biggest block alive A E I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn A She was made for the straight aways D She grew up hating Chevrolets A E A E7 She's a rocket, she was made to burn
[Verse 2]
A Well whose junkpile piece of Chevelle is this? D Did you boys come here to race or just kiss? A E Mmm Don't you want to know what I got underneath my hood? A I know she might sound like she's missing D Buddy, she could teach you a lesson A E A In just a quarter mile, and I'll smoke you good
[Chorus]
A D In my 455 Rocket, the kind the police drive A E I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn A She was made for the straight aways D She grew up hating Chevrolets A E A E7 She's a rocket, she was made to burn.

[Verse 3]
A I'm telling you and I ain't ashamed D I cried when that wrecker came A E As we skid I thought I heard the angels sing (It sounded like the Beach Boys) A We hit the curve and began to sail D Took out most of the safety rail A E A Even the cop asked me "Man, what'd you have in that thing?"
[Chorus]
A D I had a 455 Rocket, the very kind you drive A E You oughta watch yourself when you take that turn A Mmm she was made for the straight aways D She grew up hating Chevrolets A E A E7 She's a rocket, she was made to burn, burn A E A Lord, she's a rocket she was made to burn
