Intro:  D  D   D  D     
 
D 
Mr. Smith had an Oldsmobile 
G 
Baby blue with wire wheels 
D                                           A7 
He took her home the day that she was advertised 
D 
He said she leaked when it would rain 
G 
Sounded like an aeroplane 
D                     A7            D 
But I knew she was a jewel in disguise 
A7        D    G 
She had a 455 Rocket 
 
The biggest block alive 
D                                      A7 
I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn 
D 
She was made for the straight aways 
G  
She grew up hatin' Chevrolets 
D                       A7      D          
She's a rocket, she was made to burn
 
 
 
Well whose junkpile piece of Chevelle is this? 
Did you Boys come here to race or just kiss? 
Hmmm   Don't you want to know what I got underneath my hood? 
I know she might sound like she's missing 
But buddy, she could teach you a lesson 
In just a quarter mile, and I'll smoke you good 
 
In my 455 rocket 
The kind the police drive 
I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn 
She was made for the straight aways 
She grew up hatin' Chevrolets 
She's a rocket,  she was made to burn 
 
I'm telling you and I ain't ashamed 
I cried when that wrecker came 
As we skid I thought I heard angels sing  
We hit the curve and began to sail 
Took out most the safety rail 
Even the cop asked me, "Man what'd you have in that thing?" 
 
I had a 455 rocket 
The very kind you drive 
You oughta watch yourself when you take that turn 
She was made for the straight aways 
She grew up hatin' Chevrolets 
She's a rocket, she was made to burn, burn 
Lord she's a rocket, she was made to burn. 
We do sing and play your USA music in Aussie Land.
