[Verse 1]
C G C G C
Dear Mr Ford
F C
I dearly loved my van
F C Am
My 85 F-150
Dm G
was a beauty when it ran
C G C G C
But it didn't run a long, long time
F C
So I buried it in the ground
F C Am
And sure it makes a little bit of smell
Dm G C G C
But it never makes a sound
[Chorus]
G
Cause things fell off
C
and things let go
G
And nuts loosened up
C
and I was always being towed
G
Things would seize
C
and refuse to work
G
And I always felt
C
like a real jerk
F C G
Out there on the road
F C G
when my van wouldn't go
G
So
[Verse 2]
C G C G C
I got sick of dragging it 'ome,
F C
Wouldn't it rot your socks;
F C Am
Just as I fixed one thing on,
Dm G
another thing fell off;
C G C G C
So I buried it in the ground,
F C
With a four inch pipe up through her,
F C Am Dm G C G C
And now I got me an '85 F-150 Econoline sewer.
[Chorus]
G
Cause things fell off
C
and things let go
G
And nuts loosened up
C
and I was always being towed
G
Things would seize
C
and refuse to work
G
And I always felt
C
like a real jerk
F C G
Out there on the road
F C G
when my van wouldn't go
G
So
[Verse 3]
C G C G C
Dear Mr Ford,
F C
Got thinking the other day:
F
You know myself 'n' the other fellers
C Am
kinda like the old interior,
Dm G
I guess we're willing to pay.
C G C G C
We're ordering a brand new van,
F C
With them seats custom made;
F C Am
We're gonna park it on top of the sewer pipe,
Dm G C
And that's where it's going to stay.
[Chorus]
G C
Things won't fall off and won't let go,
G C
Nuts won't loosen up, I won't need a tow;
G C
Things won't seize or refuse to work,
G C
Though I might look like a real jerk,
F C G
Every time I got to go.
F C G
But it will pleasure me to know,
[Outro]
F G C G C
That my outhouse will be a Ford!
