#1.
C                      A     D
Twenty long miles from town, my old car 
      G
broke down.
    F         G           C
The clutch is shot and it sounded so hot,
F            C
oh, what I'd give to be home.

#2.
C                   A     D 
Nineteen miles from town, my old car broke 
G
down.
    F                    C      Am    F
The battery's dead, man, like I said, oh, 
         Am7        C    Bb
what I'd give to be home.

#3.
A                         D
Eighteen miles from town, my old car broke 
G
down.
    F          C                         Am
The fan belt's slipping and the engine's missing.
Bb           G                           C
Oh, what I'd give to be home, resting my bones.

Seventeen miles from town, my old car broke down.
F       C                         Am
Just my luck, I got the fuel pump stuck.
F            G          C
Oh, what I'd give to be home.

BRIDGE:
Db       F                G      Dm7         F
When the sun's so high up in the sky and I'm trying 
                  C
to get home to my baby.
       Dm7                        G
When I get that far I'm gonna get rid of this car.
            D                         G
It's got to go, it's got to go..and I don't mean maybe.

#5.
C                  A     D                  G
Sixteen miles from town, my old short broke down.
   F      C           Am            G
My tire's down and no spare around..oh, what I'd 
           C
give to be home, oh, yeah.

The battery's dead, man, like I said, oh,

what I'd give to be home...(Fade.)
