Clifton Todd – Riding On Top Of The Car chords

3/4 timing

[Intro]
D7 G C

[Verse 1]
      C         A7          DmSome people declare that a quiet country lane
       G7                      CIs the very best place for a 'spoon';
    C          A7            DmAn old rustic stile, they declare, must be there
    G7                           CAnd not too much light from the moon.
    G                      D7             GBut my girl and I live in town, you must know,
        D                      GWhere country lanes cannot be found;
        C          A7            DmThere's no rustic stile in our neighbourhood, so
       D7          G             CEvery time Sunday ev'ning comes round

[Chorus]
        C                           FThen we go, go, go for a ride on a car, car, car
          G7                            C       G7Cause we know how cosy the tops of the tramcars are
     CThe seats are so small, there's not much to pay,
    DmYou sit close together and 'spoon' all the way,
     GAnd many a Miss will be Mrs some day
         D7       G7          C    D7 G CThrough riding on top of the car.

[Verse 2]
     C          A7           DmYou jump on the car and the journey begins
       G7                         CAnd we head for the first vacant seat,
     C         A7        DmFor all other people we don't care two pins
    G7                       CAs long as our comfort's complete.
     G                       D7          GAnd when the conductor comes up for the fare,
    D                        GHe punches our tickets then goes,
         C         A7         DmBut he gives us a wink as he pops down the stairs,
           D7        C         CLike some overgrown Cupid in clothes

[Chorus]
        C                           FThen we go, go, go for a ride on a car, car, car
          G7                            C       G7Cause we know how cosy the tops of the tramcars are
     CThe seats are so small, there's not much to pay,
    DmYou sit close together and 'spoon' all the way,
     GAnd many a Miss will be Mrs some day
         D7       G7          C   D7 G CThrough riding on top of the car.

[Verse 3]
    C         A7          DmWe get to the end of the journey all right,
        G7                       COr, at least, to the end of the track,
      C            A7        DmBut while all the others prepare to alight,
     G7                          CWe remain in our seats and ride back.
     G                    D7                   GAnd when we get married - now, boys, here's a tip
      D                         GThat sure will to be useful to you
   C           A7           DmI won't spend much on the honeymoon trip,
          D7           G           CFor I've tell you now what we will do:

[Chorus]
        C                           FThen we go, go, go for a ride on a car, car, car
          G7                            C       G7Cause we know how cosy the tops of the tramcars are
     CThe seats are so small, there's not much to pay,
    DmYou sit close together and 'spoon' all the way,
     GAnd many a Miss will be Mrs some day
         D7       G7          C   D7 G CThrough riding on top of the car.
