Mark Knopfler – The Car Was The One (Guitar)

D                             C
In summer '63 I was staying alive

Em                                D
hanging at the races, hoping to drive

D                                                    C
When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars

Em                    G                    D
I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar

D                                C
I'm up in the corner nursing a beer

Em                                      D
who should come laughing and joking in here

D                                              C
but Bobby Brown, the winner of the sports car race

Em                             G                   D
with some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place

G                    A      D
Bobby was a wild boy - one summer

   G                    A           D
he knocked down a motel wall with a hammer

     G                 A           D
He'd do anything - one night for a bet

   G                      A            D   A
he raced through the cornfields in a Corvette

D                                             C
I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that

         Em                                  D
with the beautiful girl and be king of the track

D                                       C
But the truth is when all was said and done

           Em             G                   D   C
it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one

           Em             G                   D   C   Em   G
It was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one

                  D   C   Em   G
The car was the one

                  D   C   Em   G
The car was the one
