Mark Knopfler – The Car Was The One (Ukulele)

                               F
In summer '63 I was staying alive

Am                                C 
hanging at the races, hoping to drive

                                                    F
When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars

Am                    C                     C
I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar

                                F
I'm up in the corner nursing a beer

Am                                      C
who should come laughing and joking in here

                                               F
but Bobby Brown, the winner of the sports car race

Am                             C                   C
with some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place

C                    D      C
Bobby was a wild boy - one summer

   C                    D           C
he knocked down a motel wall with a hammer

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

   C                      D            C   D
he raced through the cornfields in a Corvette

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

         Am            C                     C
with the beautiful girl and be king of the track

                                       F
But the truth is when all was said and done

           Am             C                   C    F
it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one

           Am             C                   C    F   Am  C
It was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one

                  C   F  Am C
The car was the one  

                  C   F  Am C
The car was the one
