Biography:
Dave Edmunds (born April 15, 1944) is a singer, guitarist and producer from Cardiff, Wales. Though he was primarily associated with pub rock and New Wave, and had numerous hits in the late 70's and early 80's, he was steadfastly devoted to pre-Beatles rock and roll. An infrequent songwriter, Edmunds has largely relied on cover songs or custom-written material to sustain his career.
In the late 1960s he led a blues-rock trio called Love Sculpture

Dear Dad, don't get mad

Can I get another car ?

This one here is sick'ning
F
On a wide dual road
G
I might as well be walking
C
As to drive this old Ford
[Verse 2]

Almost everyntime I try
C
To go and pass a truck
F
If I ain't goin' down hill
F
Dad, Im, out of luck

And even if I get by

It's still a rugged risk

The way this old Ford

Keep a hitting and miss

Last week when I was driving
C
On my way to school
F
I almost got a ticket
F
'Bout a freeway traffic rule
C
It's now a violation
F
Driving under forty-five
C
And if I push to fifty
G
This here Ford will nosedive
[Verse 4]
C
Dad, I'm in great danger
C
Out here trying to drive
F
This Ford wiggles
F
When I'm approaching forty-five
C
I have to nurse it along
F
Like a little suffering pup
C
And cars whizzing by me
G
Dad, look like I'm backing up

For gas somehow
F
And Dad, I got both carburetors
F
Hooked up on it now
C
I tried to hook another
F
To see if I'd do a little good
C
But ain't no place to put it
Eb
'Less I perforate the hood
[Verse 6]
C
So Dad, send the money
C
See what I can see

Try to find a Cadillac

Sixty-two or three

Just something that won't worry us

To keep it on the road
C
Sincerely, your loving son
