“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.

She reminds me of the one I loved back then.

Here’s a classic campfire song which uses 4 chords. The lower 2 notes of each chord are played alternately with the 2nd lowest being hammered on.


This strumming style is not required as you may play a more basic strumming pattern if you wish:

Home On The Range Lyrics & Chord Placement:




1st verse:
Oh, [G] give me a home where the [C] buffalo roam,
Where the [G] deer and the antelope [D7] play,
Where [G] seldom is heard a dis-[C]-couraging word
And the [G] skies are not [D7] cloudy all [G] day.

Chorus:
[G] Home, [D7] home on the [G] range,
Where the deer and the [A7] antelope [D7] play
Where [G] seldom is heard a dis-[C]-couraging word
And the [G] skies are not [D7] cloudy all [G] day.

2nd verse:
How [G] often at night when the [C] heavens are bright
With the [G] light from the glittering [D7] stars
Have I [G] stood here amazed and [C] asked as I gazed
If their [G] glory ex-[D7]-ceeds that of [G] ours.

Chorus:
[G] Home, [D7] home on the [G] range,
Where the deer and the [A7] antelope [D7] play
Where [G] seldom is heard a dis-[C]-couraging word
And the [G] skies are not [D7] cloudy all [G] day.
