Grey Cortina

Tom Robinson Band


Tom: A

D
Wish I had a grey Cortina
                 E      D
Whiplash aerial, racing trim

Cortina owner - no one meaner
                  E       D
Wish that I could be like him

[Verse]
A
Twin exhaust and rusty bumper
D
Chewing gum at traffic light
A
Stop at red but leave on amber
D            E A  D
Grey Cortina outa sight

[Chorus]
D
Wish I had a grey Cortina
                 E      D
Whiplash aerial, racing trim

Cortina owner - no one meaner
                  E       D
Wish that I could be like him

[Verse]
A
Furlined seats and lettered windscreen
D
Elbow on the windowsill
A
Eight track blazing Brucie Springsteen
D              E       A  D
Bomber jacket, dressed to kill

[Chorus]
D
Wish I had a grey Cortina
                 E      D
Whiplash aerial, racing trim

Cortina owner - no one meaner
                  E       D
Wish that I could be like him

[Verse]
A
Never cop a parking ticket
D
Never seem to show its age
A
Speed police too slow to nick it
D            E   A  D
Grey Cortina got it made

[Chorus]
D
Wish I had a grey Cortina
                 E      D
Whiplash aerial, racing trim

Cortina owner - no one meaner
                  E       D
Wish that I could be like him
