Steel Guitar

Tom: Dm

Dm A Dm

[Verse]
Dm                         A
Custom cut sideburns, Bolo tie
                                Dm
Greasy greasy ducktail, western eyes
                           A
Four-point satin, country stars
                             Dm
A Nashville train, steel guitars

[Verse]
Dm                              A
double-U double-U, bright blue glow
                                  Dm
Out in the parking lot with a radio
                                     A
A juke joint jumpin’ like a bubblin’ tar
                           Dm
Mississippi rain, steel guitars

[Chorus]
             C                 Dm
Rocketships falling out of the sky
             C                  Dm
Little green men with great big eyes
Dm                                   A
Lookin’ hair-risin’, they ain’t from Mars
A                               Dm
Sneaky sneaky sneaky, steel guitars

[Verse]
Dm                        A
Mona Lisa’s got a little smile
                                     Dm
Like to cut up a rug every once in awhile
                                A
Never gets lonesome, never gets tired
                                   Dm
I think she’s in love with a Steel guitar

[Chorus]
            C                   Dm
Rocketships falling out of the sky
             C                  Dm
Little green men with great big eyes
                                      A
A juke joint jumping, like a bubblin’ tar
                         Dm
Mississippi rain, steel guitar
            A             Dm
A Nashville train, steel guitar
