Pontiac Fred Eaglesmith
PONTIAC (Fred Eaglesmith)
The chords to this are essentially just E and C#, however the chorus works
better with an Eminor from the 7th fret. I recommend playing the full chords,
not power chords, if playing this acoustically. Also, when this song gets
going, try playing A7/B7 (Johnny Cash style), instead of the C-it's a nice
modification.
Intro
[E] [C#] [E] [C#]
[E]It's a Pontiac
[C#]It's a '63 Stratochief with a three on the tree[E]
And it belong[C#]s to me
An[E]d my baby[C#]
[E]Her and me
We go driving[C#] down old highway seventeen[E]
She puts on the r[C#]adio
Rolls down the wi[E]ndow
Lays her head bac[C#]k
It's a Pontiac[E]
[E]It ain't got no wild horses painted on the[C#] side
And the obje[E]cts in the mirror are precise[C#]ly their own size
[E]It's got a chrome Indian in fron[C#]t of the door
[E]Might be an Apache or an Arapah[C#]o
[E]Or a Pontiac[C#] [E] [C#]
chorus
[Em]There was an incident last night
[C#]At seventeen and third
It a[Em]ll happened so fast nobody'[C#]s really sure
But [Em]somebody held the rifle, somebody held [C#]the sack
[E]And as fast as they were there
Well they were gone j[C#]ust like that
[E]In a Pontiac[C#] [E] [C#]
[E]The anti-freeze is boiling and the oil [C#]pressure's low
And the p[E]edal's to the metal and it's as fast [C#]as it can go
And the stain [E]on her shoulder I getting darker you kn[C#]ow
And the radio [E]keep blasting out the facts[C#]
[E]It's a Pontiac[C#] [E] [C#]
