TRACY CHAPMAN - FAST CAR UKULELE CHORDS

Capo: 2 Tuning: G C E A

Original is played with a swing rhythm so if you are playing with your own strumming pattern then the second chord in the line should be played a beat or so later [Intro] Cmaj7 G Em D x4 [Verse]

^Cmaj7You got a fa^Gst car. ^EmI want a ticket ^Dto anywhere. ^Cmaj7Maybe we make ^Ga deal, ^EmMaybe together ^Dwe can get somewhere. ^Cmaj7Any place ^Gis better. ^EmStarting from zero, ^Dgot nothing to lose. ^Cmaj7Maybe we'll make ^Gsomething, ^EmMe myself, I ^Dgot nothing to prove.

Cmaj7 G Em D X2 [Verse]

^Cmaj7You got a fa^Gst car. ^EmI got a plan ^Dto get us out of here: I been ^Cmaj7working at the con^Gvenience store, ^EmManaged to save ^Djust a little bit of money. ^Cmaj7Won't have to drive ^Gtoo far ^EmJust 'cross the border ^Dand into the city, ^Cmaj7You and I ^Gcan both get jobs And ^Emfinally see ^Dwhat it means to be living.

Cmaj7 G Em D X2 [Verse]

You see, ^Cmaj7my old man's ^Ggot a problem: He ^Emlive with the bottle, ^Dthat’s the way it is. He says his ^Cmaj7body's too old ^Gfor working, His ^Embody's too young ^Dto look like his. My ^Cmaj7mama went off ^Gand left him, she w^Emanted more from life than h^De could give, I said, "^Cmaj7Somebody's got to ^Gtake care of him." So ^EmI quit school and ^Dthat's what I did.

Cmaj7 G Em D X2 [Pre-Chorus]

^Cmaj7You got a fa^Gst car. But is it ^Emfast enough so ^Dwe can fly away? ^Cmaj7We gotta make a dec^Gision: ^EmLeave tonight or l^Dive and die this way.

Cmaj7 G Em D X2 [Chorus]

So I remember when: we were dr^Civing, driving in your car, The ^Gspeed so fast I felt like I was drunk, ^EmCity lights lay out before us And your^D arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder. And ^CI-^EmI had a fe^Deling that I belonged And ^CI-^EmI had a ^Dfeeling I could be someone^C (be someone^D, be someone.)

Cmaj7 G Em D X2 [Verse]

^Cmaj7You got a f^Gast car. And ^Emwe go cruising to ^Dentertain ourselves; you s^Cmaj7till ain't got a ^Gjob And I ^Emwork in a market ^Das a checkout girl. ^Cmaj7I know things will ^Gget better: ^EmYou'll find work ^Dand I'll get promoted, ^Cmaj7We'll move out o^Gf the shelter ^EmBuy a bigger house ^Dand live in the suburbs.

Cmaj7 G Em D X2 [Chorus]

Cmaj7 G Em D X2 [Verse]

^Cmaj7You got a f^Gast car. And ^EmI got a job ^Dthat pays all our bills. You s^Cmaj7tay out drink^Ging late at the bar, You see ^Emmore your friends ^Dthan you do your kids. ^Cmaj7I'd always hoped ^Gfor better, Thought ^Emmaybe together^D you and me would find it, ^Cmaj7I got no plans I ^Gain't going nowhere, so ^Emtake your fast car ^Dand keep on driving.

Cmaj7 G Em D X2 [Chorus]

So I remember when: we were dr^Cmaj7iving, driving in your car, The ^Gspeed so fast I felt like I was drunk, ^EmCity lights lay out before us And your^D arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder. And ^CI-^EmI had a fe^Deling that I belonged And ^CI-^EmI had a ^Dfeeling I could be some^Cmaj7one (be some^Done, be someone.)

Cmaj7 G Em D X2 [Outro]

^Cmaj7You got a fas^Gt car. But is it ^Emfast enough so ^Dwe can fly away? ^Cmaj7We gotta make ^Ga decision: ^EmLeave tonight or l^Dive and die this way.

Cmaj7 G Em D x3 Cmaj7 G
