    F                               G
I left my home in Monterey, just another low prospects man

     Dm                                 Dm
I'd rather work in a foundry than put fishes in a can

     F                 F                G
I'm thirty-five and I haven't traveled far

          Dm                                     Dm   F
And I've spent all my money on this misbegotten car

    Em                         F
I'm up against it all like a leaf against the wind

           F        Dm                 F
And this Studebaker keeps on breaking down again

    Dm   F    G         F        F
My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again

   C7                                F
I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend

        G    F    F     F        G             F
But my damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
G Dm F F G Dm F
        F                                     G
I was speeding south on ninety-nine when the manifold started smokin'

   Dm                            Dm            F
I ran her off the shoulder, and now the axle's broken

                      F                     G
It made a sound that cracked my heart in half

          Dm                             Dm   F
And with only half a half pint of vodka left
I'm up against it all like a leaf against the wind And this Studebaker keeps on breaking down again My Studebaker keeps on breaking down away I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend But my damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again F G Dm F F G Dm F
     F         Dm                 F
My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again

    Dm   F     G        F        F
My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again

    C7                                 F
I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend

        G     F   F      F       G              F
But my damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
F G Dm F F G Dm F
