The Dashboard

• A

Intro: A D G 
 D                                       G 
We laughed and joked in the cab of his truck 
 D                         G 
Just my brother and me 
 D                                 G 
The night before he shipped out overseas 
 D                       G 
A leatherneck, jarhead marine 
              A                      G 
He said the radiator leaks and the timing belt is worn 
        A                                    G        A 
But the heart and soul of this old beat-up truck, 
    D 
Is the Dashboard 

 
 D 
It's seen a lot of tan legs, 
               G 
Got a kick ass radio, 
               A                                       G 
Heard a lot of singing along to some country songs and rock & roll, 
 D                                      G 
Got a .38 bullet hole, courtesy of Kate Tillman's dad, 
         A                                       G 
A lot of scotch tape marks from holding timeless photographs 
           A                              G 
He said if I don't come back, you can have this Ford 
           A                     D 
Just tape a picture of me on the dashboard 


 A 
He said the paint is peeling off, 
 G 
It's got dents in both the doors 
 A 
If something happens to me, 
                      G              D 
Don't hang a for sale sign above the dashboard 


 D 
I had the engine overhauled, 
                 G 
A paint job and brand new chrome, 
          A 
I had her washed and waxed, 
                         G 
Sitting in the drive the day he came home 
 A                       G   
I said here's your keys, she's all yours 
 A                  D 
I fixed everything, but the dashboard
