[Verse]
D                                 G                 D
I don't look all that ragged for all the time it's been,

                                         A
But I'm weakend underneath me where my frame has rusted thin.

     D                                  G      D
And this here state inspection, I just barely passed.

D
Won't you drive me 'cross the country, boy,

      A                D
This year could be my last.
[Chorus]
       G                  D
I'm a tail-fin road locomotive

          A                 D
From the days of cheap gasoline.

     G                       D            Bm
For sale on the side of the road, goin' nowhere.

Em          A        D
Rusty old American dream.
[Verse]
D                                   G  D
I rolled off the line of Detroit in 1958.
Spent two days on the show room,
        A
That's all I had to wait.

           D                               G       D
I've been good to all who've owned me, so have no fear.
Come on, boy, put your money down
     A            D
And get me outta here.
[Chorus]
       G                  D
I'm a tail-fin road locomotive

          A                 D
From the days of cheap gasoline.

     G                       D            Bm
For sale on the side of the road, goin' nowhere.

Em          A        D
Rusty old American dream.
[Verse]
D         
This car needs a young man to own him,

                          G
One who will polish the chrome.

                              D
I'll give you the rest of my lifetime,

     Em                     A     *key changes*
But don't let me die here alone.

      E                 
Just jump me some juice to my battery,

                         A
Give that old starter a spin.

                        E *STOP*           C#m
Hear me whir, sputter, backfire to the carburetor

     F#m       B         E
and roar into life once again.
[Chorus]
       E                  A
I'm a tail-fin road locomotive

          B                 E
From the days of cheap gasoline.

     E                       A            C#m
For sale on the side of the road, goin' nowhere.

F#m          B        E
Rusty old American dream.

       C#m      F#m         B       E
Still runnin', rusty old American dream.
