Light Blue Saturn
View chords used in this chart
[Verso 1]
D
The sun was shining one noon in July
G
By dead man's curve off highway 5
D A
Just past the Crate & Barrel and the Olive Garden.
D
I pulled up to a stoplight and idled the engine
G
And the guy in the other lane caught my attention.
D A D
He said "Do you want to race?" I said, "I beg your pardon?"
G D
You see you may drive a Lamborghini with a 12 cylinder engine that accelerates
A D
obscenely fast and 700 Newton-meters at maximum torque.
G D
But I've got something better on my side, 88 horsepower of American pride,
D A D
and when I smoke you, boy, you're gonna look like quite the dork.
[Refrão]
D G
"So come on, go go go little light blue Saturn
D A
Let's roll roll roll right down the street.
D G
Oh now now now now what's the matter?
D A D
I think I made my light blue Saturn overheat."
[Verso 2]
D
Well we sat there revving and lookin' real mean,
G
My cat-like reflexes waiting for the green,
D A
And it when it turned, we burned our tires bald.
D
But in all the confusion, something felt wrong.
G
I realized I left the radio on,
D A D
and it drained just enough power to leave me stalled.
G
So he beat me and shouted "I'm king of the world!",
D A D
but I couldn't look bad in front of my girls, so I said "Let's rematch here tomorrow at noon".
G
He said, "Do you like punishment you just can't resist?"
D
I said, "Yeah, that's right, I'm a masochist,
D A D
but the one thing I'd like more is beating you."
[Refrão]
G
"So come on, go go go little light blue Saturn
D A
Let's roll roll roll right down the street.
D G
Oh now now now now what's the matter?
D A D
I think I made my light blue Saturn overheat."
Solo:

[Verso 3]
D
Well the next day came and the crowds came by.
G
The hostess from the Olive Garden raised her towel high,
D A
And when she dropped it, smoke and fire filled the air.
D
I shift the gears fast with force so emphatic,
G
until I remember my car's an automatic,
D A D
and I bopped it into drive and sped on out of there.
G
But Mr. Lamborghini didn't get too far
D
when all four tires blew out in his car.
A D
I put a spike strip there before the race.
G
And as I crossed the finish line, I yell to him,
D
"Ain't nobody can beat a GM!"
D A D
And I signalled, checked my blind spot, and drove away.
[Refrão]
D G
"So come on, go go go little light blue Saturn
D A
Let's roll roll roll right down the street.
D G
Oh now now now now what's the matter?
D A D
I think I made my light blue Saturn overheat."
D A D
The dent resistant Saturn can't be beat.
D A D
But keep it under 50 or you'll overheat.
