 Cadillac Ranch (from the album "The River")

Capo on 3rd fret (Medium rock and roll)

              Well there she sits buddy just a-gleaming in the sun right
	      G

              There to greet a working man when his day is done
	      C			 	   G

              I'm gonna pack my pa and I'm gonna pack my aunt

              I'm gonna take them down to the Cadillac Ranch
		  C  			      D        G

              Eldorado fins, whitewalls and skirts
              Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earth
              Well buddy when I die throw my body in the back
              And drive me to the junkyard in my Cadillac

              Cadillac, Cadillac
	      G

              Long and dark shiny and black
	      C             G

              Open up your engines let `em roar

              Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur
		  C                         D           G

              James Dean in that Mercury `49
              Junior Johnson runnin' through the woods of Caroline
              Even Burt Reynolds in that black Trans Am
              All gonna meet down at the Cadillac Ranch

              Cadillac, Cadillac...

              Hey little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
              Drivin' alone through the Wisconsin night
              You're my last love you're my last chance
              Don't let `em take me to the Cadillac Ranch

              Cadillac, Cadillac...
