[Verse 1]
A
  Mr. Smith had an Oldsmobile
D
  Baby blue with wire wheels.
A                                            E7
  I took her home the day that she was advertised
A
  He said she leaked when it would rain
D
  And sounded like, aeroplanes
A                     E               A    E
  But I knew she was   a jewel in disguise


[Chorus]
          A       D
She had a 4---55 rocket, the biggest block alive
A                                        E
  I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn
A
  She was made for the straight aways
D
  She grew up hating Chevrolets
A                 E                   A   E7
  She's a rocket,    she was made to burn


[Verse 2]
A
  Well whose junkpile piece of Chevelle is this?
D
  Did you boys come here to race or just kiss?
A                       E
  Mmm Don't you want to know what I got underneath my hood?
A
  I know she might sound like she's missing
D
  Buddy, she could teach you a lesson
A                     E                        A
   In just a quarter mile, and I'll smoke you good


[Chorus]
     A    D
In my 455 Rocket, the kind the police drive
A                                        E
  I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn
A
  She was made for the straight aways
D
  She grew up hating Chevrolets
A                 E                    A    E7
  She's a rocket,     she was made to burn.

[Verse 3]
A
 I'm telling you and I ain't ashamed
D
 I cried when that wrecker came
A                                         E
  As we skid I thought I heard the angels sing  (It sounded like the Beach Boys)
A
 We hit the curve and began to sail
D
Took out most of the safety rail
A                       E                        A
  Even the cop asked me    "Man, what'd you have in that thing?"


[Chorus]
        A   D
I had a 455 Rocket, the very kind you drive
A                                              E
  You oughta watch yourself when you take that turn
A
  Mmm she was made for the straight aways
D
  She grew up hating Chevrolets
A                E                   A         E7 
  She's a rocket,   she was made to burn, burn
A                    E                    A
Lord, she's a rocket    she was made to burn
