[Verse]
     Am
Well down on the corner, up on the avenue
F
People pointin', callin' out after you
Am
Hands on their hips, their eyes get wider
E
They can't believe the thing that you're drivin'

[Verse]
Am
28 feet from bumper to bumper
    F
The last of the sweet old time gas guzzlers
Am
Hard to drive harder to park
    E
But when you do somebody remarks

[Refrain]
         Am
That's a mighty big car
         F
That's a mighty big car
         Am              E
That's a mighty big car

[Verse]
Am
Elvis had one and so did Hank
     F
They don't look like money they look like the bank
Am
Make a scene every time you stop it
E
Ride like a dream go like a rocket

[Refrain]
         Am
That's a mighty big car
         F
That's a mighty big car
         Am              E
That's a mighty big car

[Bridge]
F
Headlights thick as mason jars
Am
Everybody says that they looks like Mars
F
Shiner than a country star
    E
And nothing ever looked as good in your front yaaaaaaaard

[Verse]
Am
Brighter than an aluminum trailer
F
Curvy windshields and tinted mirrors
Am
Grill looks like a cafe sign
E
Whitewalls drive you out of your mind

[Refrain]
         Am
That's a mighty big car
         F
That's a mighty big car
         Am              E
That's a mighty big car

[Refrain]
         Am
That's a mighty big car
         F
That's a mighty big car
         Am              E
That's a mighty big car
