            riff   A Asus2 Asus4

     a ride in my wagon

     (chorus)
     Asus4                        E
     cause like a picture she was laying there
                       D            A
     moonlight dancing off her hair
                             E
     she woke up and took me by the hand
                           Bm
     shes gonna love me in my chevy van
         D         E            A
     and thats all right with me

     (verse 2 - chords same as verse 1 above)

     her young face was like that of an angel
     her long legs were tanned and brown
     better keep your eyes on the road son
     better slow this vehicle down

     (play the chorus again)

     (verse 3 - chords same as verse 1 above)

     I put her out in a town that was so small
     you could throw a rock from end to end
     a dirt road main street
     she walked off in bare feet
     its a shame I won't be passing through again

     (chorus again 2x,  but this time sing the
      last line as 'we made love in my chevy van and
      thats allright with me')
