Hot Rod Lincoln chords
Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen


My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinking
If you don't stop driving that Hot Rod Lincoln"

E A7 E B7

EHave you heard this story of the hot rod race
     A7When Fords and Lincolns was setting the pace
     EThat story is true, I'm here to say
B7                       EI was driving that Model A

           EIt's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up
     A7That Model A body makes it look like a pup
         EIt's got eight cylinders, uses them all
         B7                    EIt's got overdrive, just won't stall

       EWith a 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust
     A7With 4.11 gears you can really get lost
         EIt's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
    B7                     EThe brakes are good, tires fair

EPulled out of San Pedro late one night
    A7The moon and the stars was shining bright
       EWe was driving up Grapevine Hill
B7                                  EPassing cars like they was standing still

E A7 E B7

EAll of a sudden in a wink of an eye
  A7A Cadillac sedan passed us by
         EI said, "Boys, that's a mark for me"
   B7                                    EBy then the tail light was all you could see


        ENow the fellas was ribbing me for being behind
     A7So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind
        E        Took my foot off the gas and man alive
  B7                         EI shoved it on down into overdrive

EWound it up to a hundred-and-ten
   A7My speedometer said that I hit top end
   EMy foot was glued like lead to the floor
       B7                              EThat's all there is and there ain't no more

ENow the boys all thought I'd lost my sense
    A7And telephone poles looked like a picket fence
     EThey said, "Slow down! I see spots!
    B7                               EThe lines on the road just look like dots"

ETook a corner, sideswiped a truck
A7Crossed my fingers just for luck
   EMy fenders was clicking the guardrail posts
    B7                           EThe guy beside me was white as a ghost

E A7 E B7

ESmoke was coming from out of the back
       A7When I started to gain on that Cadillac
EKnew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
          B7                          EDon't you know by then we'd be low on gas

       EWe had flames coming from out of the side
         A7Feel the tension, man, what a ride!
         EI said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly"
         B7                           EAnd that Caddy pulled over and let us by

ENow all of a sudden she started to knocking
    A7And down in the dips she started to rocking
  EI looked in my mirror; a red light was blinking

    B7                        EThe cops was after my hot rod Lincoln

EThey arrested me and they put me in jail
    A7And called my pappy to throw my bail
       EAnd he said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinking
       B7                                EIf you don't stop driving that hot, rod, Lincoln!"
