Cars are cars all over the world
G |D |G
Cars are cars all over the world
|D |G
Similarly made. Similarly sold
|D |G
In a motorcade. Abandoned when they're old
|D |G |F/G | | |
Cars are cars all over the world
G |D |G
Cars are cars all over the world
G |D |G
Cars are cars all over the world
|D |G
Engine in the front. Jack in the back
|D |G
Wheels take the brunt. Pinion and a rack
|C D |G
Cars are cars all over the world
|C D |G
Cars are cars all over the world
|F#m7 |Bm7
But people are strangers
|C6 |Bm7
They change with the curve
|Gmaj7 |F#m7
From time zone to time zone
|Em7 |D
As we can observe
|Bm7 |F#m7
They shut down their borders
|C6 |Gmaj7
And think they're immune
|Bm7 |D/C
They stand on their differences
|C |G |
And shoot at the moon
G |D |G
But cars are cars all over the world
G |D |G
Cars are cars all over the world
|D |G
Drive 'em on the left. Drive 'em on the right
|D |G
Susceptible to theft in the middle of the night
|C D |G
Cars are cars all over the world
|C D |G
Cars are cars all over the world
|F#m7 |Bm7
I once had a car
|C6 |Bm7
That was more like a home
|Gmaj7 |F#m7 |
I lived in it, loved in it
Em7 |D
Polished its chrome
|Bm7 |F#m7
If some of my homes
|C6 |Gmaj7
Had been more like my car
|Bm7 |D/C |
I probably wouldn't have
C |G |
Travelled this far
|D |G
Cars are cars all over the world
|D |G
Cars are cars all over the world
|C D |G
Cars are cars all over the world
|C D |G
Cars are cars all over the world
|C D |G
Cars are cars all over the world
Repeat and fade:
