[Intro]
Am F
Am E
Am F
Am E
[Verse]
Am
Well down on the corner, up on the avenue
F
People pointin', callin' out after you
Am
Hands on their hips, their eyes get wider
E
They can't believe the thing that you're drivin'
[Verse]
Am
28 feet from bumper to bumper
F
The last of the sweet old time gas guzzlers
Am
Hard to drive harder to park
E
But when you do somebody remarks
[Refrain]
Am
That's a mighty big car
F
That's a mighty big car
Am E
That's a mighty big car
[Verse]
Am
Elvis had one and so did Hank
F
They don't look like money they look like the bank
Am
Make a scene every time you stop it
E
Ride like a dream go like a rocket
[Refrain]
Am
That's a mighty big car
F
That's a mighty big car
Am E
That's a mighty big car
[Bridge]
F
Headlights thick as mason jars
Am
Everybody says that they looks like Mars
F
Shiner than a country star
E
And nothing ever looked as good in your front yaaaaaaaard
[Verse]
Am
Brighter than an aluminum trailer
F
Curvy windshields and tinted mirrors
Am
Grill looks like a cafe sign
E
Whitewalls drive you out of your mind
[Refrain]
Am
That's a mighty big car
F
That's a mighty big car
Am E
That's a mighty big car
[Refrain]
Am
That's a mighty big car
F
That's a mighty big car
Am E
That's a mighty big car
