Tom: Am
G C/G G C/G G C/G G
[Verse 1]
G
From the black bag skip in the parking lot
G
It's a short bad trip to the candy shop
G
Where the shrimps sell smack to the jelly snakes
G C/G G C/G G
And the kids buy crack in their morning break
[Verse 2]
G
And the grass grows bluer on the other side
G
Where the old girls queue for their Mothers Pride
G
For a slice of life it's a bargain sale
G C/G G C/G G
The price is right but the bread is stale
[Verse 3]
G
From the high rise priest of the office blocks
G
To a five year lease on a cardboard box
G
From the Old Queens Head to the Burger King
G
In my '57 Chevvy made from baked bean tins
[Chorus]
D
And when I drive that heap down the road
E
You can hear the cheap car stereo
C
Volume knob turned down low
D G
And rubbish on the radio
[Interlude]
C/G G C/G G C/G G
[Bridge]
G
From John O'Groats to Elmer's End
F
With busted lights and dodgy plates
G
Scrawled with a ball point pen
F
R U B B I S H
G
I'm underage and uninsured
F
On the High Road to Domestos
G
Chloraflouracarbon Lord
F G C/G G C/G C/G G
Asbestos lead asbestos
[Chorus]
D
And when I drive that heap down the road
E
You can hear the cheap car stereo
C
Volume knob turned down low
D G
And rubbish on the radio

G
I'll meet you down by the litter bins
F
Stretch my pins and feed my face
G
Wait there 'til my ship comes in
F
Loaded down with toxic waste
G
I'm going now to meet my maker
F
Ignition, clutch, accelerator
G
Mirror, signal and manoeuvre
F D E C D
GLORY, GLORY, GLORY HALLELUJAH!
[Chorus]

And when I drive that heap down the road

You can hear the cheap car stereo
