[Verse 1]
C F
I'll be your chauffeur
Am F
Drive you to a distant shore
C F
Fill the tank with gas and dreams
Am F
The twinkle of the stars shall be our semaphore
[Refrain 1]
C G
And guide us to that place
F G
A better place
Am F C
Then we shall stay in our Eden restored
[Verse 2]
C F
I'll be your chauffeur
Am F
The go-fer who will fetch and carry you home
C F
So curl up on this mobile sofa
Am F
I'll turn the key and let these four wheels roam
[Refrain 2]
C G
We'll take it at a steady pace
F G
Or find a shooting star to chase
Am F C
In a carriage made of leather, wood, and chrome
[Chorus]
C Am
I'll check the water
C Em
I'll take the wheel
F Dm F C
I'll jump a red light ...
[Chorus]
C Am
I'll check the water
C Em
I'll take the wheel
F Dm F C
I'll jump a red light if that's how you feel
[Verse 3]
C F
I'll be your chauffeur
Am F
No diversion shall deter
C F
I'll wear the uniform
Am F
The engine shall purr as if metal were fur
[Verse 4]
C F
I'll be your chauffeur
Am F
No destination is too far
C F
We'll turn the mileage over
Am F
The payment we shall disregard
[Refrain 3]
C G
And we will leave this place
F G
For another place
Am F C
A ticker tape welcome awaits us in the stars
[Chorus]
C Am
I'll check the water
C Em
I'll take the wheel
F Dm F C
I'll jump a red light if that's how you feel
[Outro]
C G F
I'll be your chauffeur, yeah
C G F
I'll be your chauffeur, yeah
C G F
I'll be your chauffeur, yeah
C G Am
I'll be your chauffeur, yeah
