Thunderbird John Hiatt
Capo 4th Fret. These first 2 basic patterns are followed throughout the song.
finger picking works well. I saw John Hiatt use this style on his own with an acoustic.
[Am]My Thunderbird, my Thunderbird
Put your [Fmaj7]head on my [C]shoulder
[Fmaj7]Don't say a [C]word
We'll [Fmaj7]cut across [C]town in my [G]Thunder[Am]bird
[Am]There's a burial ground
Beneath a [C]cattle [Fmaj7]herd
Mr. Henry Ford's [C]building me a [G]Thunder[Am]bird
My Thunderbird, my Thunderbird
Put your head on my shoulder
Don't say a word
We'll cut across the country in my Thunderbird
We're from Pennsylvania
Welsh men of words
My daddy drove a Desoto
I drive a Thunderbird
My Thunderbird, my Thunderbird
She's the voice of the future
Baby, have you heard
Tomorrow's taken wing on my Thunderbird
My Thunderbird, my Thunderbird
Put your head on my shoulder
Don't say a word
We'll cut across town in my Thunderbird
Got electric windows
Tilt away wheel
Slide across the bucket seat
For that sexy leather feel of
My Thunderbird, my Thunderbird
Put your head on my shoulder
Don't say a word
We'll cut across town in my Thunderbird
From the old Volkswagen
Back to the Model T
A lot of men died
Just so you could ride with me in
My Thunderbird, my Thunderbird
She drives like a dream
Baby rest assured
It don't get any better than a Thunderbird
My daddy was a salesman
My brother was too
I would sell anything
Just to try to stay with you
But not my Thunderbird
No not my Thunderbird
Willy Loman's saying something
I can't hear a word
I'm going too fast in my Thunderbird
*Different pattern*
They [C]make 'em that [Fmaj7]way
Yeah they [C]make 'em that [Fmaj7]way
Well they [C]make 'em that [Fmaj7]way
Yeah they [C]make 'em that [Fmaj7]way
Well they [C]make 'em that [Fmaj7]way
