The big line moved one mile an hour, so loud it really hurt 
C5                                     G5
The big line moved so loud it really hurt 
D5                     C5             G5
Back in '55  we were makin' thunderbirds

We filled conveyors, we met production ,Foremen didn't waste words
C5                                         G5
We met production ,Foremen didn't waste words 
D5                                   C5             G5
We were young and proud we were makin' thunderbirds
 
G5
Well ..we were makin' thunderbirds we were makin' thunderbirds       
   C5                                         G5
They were long and low and sleek and fast they were all you ever heard
D5                     C5           G5 
Back in '55 we were makin' thunderbirds 

(same chords and timing)
Now the years have flown and the plants have changed you're lucky if you work 
The big line moves but you're lucky if you work 
Back in '55 we were makin' thunderbirds 

Well?we were makin' thunderbirds ,we were makin' thunderbirds 
They were long and low and sleek and fast they were classic in a word 
Back in '55 we were makin' thunderbirds 

We were young and proud  makin' thunderbirds 
We were young and sure and we were makin' thunderbirds
