“The One I Loved Back Then” (Corvette Song) Lyrics
[D]I stopped off at the Quicksack for some [A]beer and ciga-[D]-rettes. The [G]old man took my [D]money as he stared at my Cor-[A]-vette. He -[D]-said, I had one just like her son, a 196-[G]-3 ‘Til the -[D]-man down at the -[A]-bank took her from -[D]-me.
Oh She was[D]hotter than a two dollar pistol She was the[G]fastest thing a–[D]-round. [G]Long and lean every [D]young man’s dream. She turned every head in [A]town. She was [D]built and fun to handle Sun I’m glad that you dropped [G]in. She re–[D]-minds me of the [A]one I loved back[D]then.
[D]Well I handed him my keys and said: here[A] take her for a [D]spin. The [G]old man scratched his[D]head, and then he looked at me and [A]grinned. He said[D]son you just don’t understand, it ain’t the car I [G]want. It’s the [D]brunette in your [A]‘vette that turns me [D]on.
The one that was [D]hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the [G]fastest thing a–[D]-round.
[G]Long and lean every [D]young man’s dream.
She turned every head in [A]town.
She was [D]built and fun to handle Sun
I’m glad that you dropped [G]in.
She re–[D]-minds me of the [A]one I loved back [D]then.
Note: There is an alternate tuning for this song where all strings are tuned down a half step.
Standard tuning is the most convenient. However, if you are singing also you may want to tune down a half step to better compliment your vocals.
