Riding On Top Of The Car Chords - Clifton Todd

3 <4beat>timing

Intro

D7 G C

Verse 1

C A7 Dm Some people declare that a quiet country lane G7 C Is the very best place for a 'spoon'; C A7 Dm An old rustic stile, they declare, must be there G7 C And not too much light from the moon. G D7 G But my girl and I live in town, you must know, D G Where country lanes cannot be found; C A7 Dm There's no rustic stile in our neighbourhood, so D7 G C Every time Sunday ev'ning comes round

Chorus

C F Then we go, go, go for a ride on a car, car, car G7 C G7 Cause we know how cosy the tops of the tramcars are C The seats are so small, there's not much to pay, Dm You sit close together and 'spoon' all the way, C And many a Miss will be Mrs some day D7 G7 C D7 G C Through riding on top of the car.

Verse 2

C A7 Dm You jump on the car and the journey begins G7 C And we head for the first vacant seat, C A7 Dm For all other people we don't care two pins G7 C As long as our comfort's complete. G D7 G And when the conductor comes up for the fare, D G He punches our tickets then goes, C A7 Dm But he gives us a wink as he pops down the stairs, D7 C C Like some overgrown Cupid in clothes

Chorus

Verse 3

C A7 Dm We get to the end of the journey all right, G7 C Or, at least, to the end of the track, C A7 Dm But while all the others prepare to alight, G7 C We remain in our seats and ride back. G D7 G And when we get married - now, boys, here's a tip D G That sure will to be useful to you C A7 Dm I won't spend much on the honeymoon trip, D7 G C For I've tell you now what we will do:
