The Dashboard

A D G D G We laughed and joked in the cab of his truck D G Just my brother and me D G The night before he shipped out overseas D G A leatherneck, jarhead marine A G He said the radiator leaks and the timing belt is worn A G A But the heart and soul of this old beat-up truck, D Is the Dashboard D It's seen a lot of tan legs, G Got a kick ass radio, A G Heard a lot of singing along to some country songs and rock & roll, D G Got a .38 bullet hole, courtesy of Kate Tillman's dad, A G A lot of scotch tape marks from holding timeless photographs A G He said if I don't come back, you can have this Ford A D Just tape a picture of me on the dashboard A He said the paint is peeling off, G It's got dents in both the doors A If something happens to me, G D Don't hang a for sale sign above the dashboard D I had the engine overhauled, G A paint job and brand new chrome, A I had her washed and waxed, G Sitting in the drive the day he came home A G I said here's your keys, she's all yours A D I fixed everything, but the dashboard
