G5          C5            G5                       D5
Caravan of yellow wire, and crawling across the plains 
G5                  C5            G5                  C5
Rolling along in a single file, like a slow moving train 
G5               C5                G5                      D5
It rumbled down out of the mist, into the early morning light 
G5                       C5                 G5
Said they stay 'til the job was finished, if it took them 'til

midnight 
G5                              C5             G5
There were cats & scrapers all caterpillars, packed up by mile  
     D5
high crane 
G5                                C5                 G5
And it looked like monsters from the old b movies, the drive-ins  
       C5
use to play 
              G5                 C5
And we'd sang good bye Saturday under the stars 
G5                                 D5
Wake up little Suzy in my daddy's car 
G5                    C5
So many memories got lost and found 
G5                       C5
When a piece of history hit the ground 
G5                     C5             G5
The day they tore the last drive-in down 
G5                     C5                       G5
Memories thick as the smoke clouds they made, man and machine  
       D5
became one 
G5                              C5                G5
Boards snapped like toothpicks on their blades, but to us it  
             C5
sounded like guns 
G5                  C5                       G5
Cowboys, soldiers, gangsters, and thieves, James Bond and his  
       D5
golden girls 
G5                                  C5                          G5
Well you could sit in your car and never turn the key, and go   
                    C5
half way around the world 
G5                                C5                     G5
And it stood like a landmark for forty years, we never thought  
             D5
we'd live to see 
G5                                      C5               G5
It fall it to the ground and then just disappear, like so many  
          C5
childhood dreams

G5                         C5                           G5
Nobody moved through what seemed like hours, and slow motion it  
              D5
came tumbling down 
G5                                                C5            G5
We just stood there with a taste of metal in our mouths and a   
            C5
silence all around 
                      D5                      G5
The day they tore the 1 strum} last drive-in 1 strum} down
