INTRO: [A] [G] [D] [E]
VERSE 1:
[A] Come and look at this old faded
[A] photograph
[D] Honey, tell me
[E] what it brings to
[A] mind?
It's a
[A] picture of that '57
[A] chevrolet
I
[D] wish that we could
[E] ride it one more
[A] time
VERSE 2:
[A] I still get excited when I
[A] think about
The
[D] drive-in picture
[E] shows you took me
[A] to
But I
[A] don't recall a lot about the
[E] movie
[A] stars
[D] mostly that old
[E] chevrolet and
[A] you
CHORUS:
[D] They don't make
[E] cars like they
[A] used to
I
[D] wish we still
[E] had it to-
[A]-day
The
[D] love we first
[E] tasted, the
[A] good love we're still
[D] living
we
[A] owe it to that
[D] old fifty
[E] seven chevro-
[A]-let
BREAK: [G] [D] [E]
VERSE 3:
Re-
[A]-member when we used to park it
[A] in the lane
And
[D] listen to the
[E] country radi-
[A]-o?
We'd
[A] hold on to each other while we
[A] sang our song
And we'd
[D] stay like that 'til
[E] it was time to
[A] go
VERSE 4:
[A] Now, it makes me sad to think the good old
[A] days are gone
Al-
[D]-though our love is
[E] still as strong to-
[A]-day
[A] But the world would have a lot more lovers
[A] hanging on
if they
[D] still made fifty
[E] seven chevro-
[A]-lets
CHORUS:
[D] They don't make
[E] cars like they
[A] used to
I
[D] wish we still
[E] had it to-
[A]-day
The
[D] love we first
[E] tasted, the
[A] good love we're still
[D] living
We
[A] owe it to that
[D] old fifty
[E] seven chevro-
[A]-let
CHORUS EXTENDED:
We
[A] owe it to that
[D] old fifty
[E] seven chevro-
[A]-let
