Em   G   D   C
Em   G   D   C


[Verse 1]

Em                       G
A thousand dollar car it ain't worth nothin'
D                        C
A thousand dollar car it ain't worth shit
Em                       G
Might as well take your thousand dollars
D               C
And set fire to it
Em                          G
A thousand dollar car ain't worth a dime
D                               C
You lose your thousand dollars every time
Em         G      D
Oh why did I ever buy
                       Em
A thousand dollar car


[Verse 2]

Em                             G
A thousand dollar car is gonna let you down
D                         C
More than it's ever gonna get you around
  Em                           G
Replace your gaskets and paint over your rust
       D                                      C
You'll still end up with something that you'll never trust
  Em                    G
A thousand dollar car's life was through
      D                              C
'Bout fifty thousand miles before it got to you
   Em      G      D
Oh why did I ever buy
                  Em
A thousand dollar car


[Bridge]

Am                      D
A thousand dollar car ain't gonna roll
G                G/F#            C
Until you put at least another thousand in the hole
Am                          D
Sink your money in it, and there you are
          C                         D
The owner of a two thousand dollar thousand dollar car


[Verse 3]

Em                         G
If you only got a thousand dollars
    D                            C
You might as well buy a good guitar
Em                               G
Learn how to play, it'll get you farther
     D                       C
Than any old thousand dollar car
     Em                         G
If a thousand dollar car was to worth a damn
     D                      C
Then why would anybody ever spend ten grand
   Em      G      D
Oh why did I ever buy
                  Em   G   D   C   Em   G   D   C    until done...
A thousand dollar car
