TrashCanSinatras: Maybe I Should Drive
Put a capo on the first fret, and pretend playing the chords listed:

Intro: D G A D
DI'm (xx0232@1)on a B road heading for the sea
EmTo (022000@1)see if hands across the ocean
          A (x02220@1)       DShake (xx0232@1)or wave
DThrough (xx0232@1)the whiplash of the windscreen wipers
EmI (022000@1)can see for miles
                           ABut (x02220@1)all I do is watch the time
                   DAnd (xx0232@1)the driver's hands


He harbours thoughts on personal grief

I said your hardship's

Only one of a fleet

That didn't go down well

CHORUS
 D (xx0232@1)           AListen (x02220@1)son if you'd spent
      BmYour (x24432@1)life in the last lane
 A (x02220@1)               Em (022000@1)      D (xx0232@1) AYou (x02220@1)would have an accent to grind
 D (xx0232@1)            APunch-drunk (x02220@1)on patriotism
 BmBlind-drunk (x24432@1)on borderism
  A (x02220@1)             D (xx0232@1)            G (320003@1)        A (x02220@1)      DMaybe (xx0232@1)I should drive

 DAnd (xx0232@1)while you're castaway

The mice'll play
 EmThey'll (022000@1)have a license
                         ATo (x02220@1)dull those left back home
                        DWhat (xx0232@1)about those poor souls?

CHORUS

          Em (022000@1)   DAnd (xx0232@1)as I jumped to these conclusions
     Em (022000@1)        DHe (xx0232@1)thumped his feet on the brakes
         ABut (x02220@1)we still hit a songwriter
                              D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) G (320003@1) DTrudging (xx0232@1)through the rain

  AScrambled (x02220@1)out and watched him

Rest in pieces
 BmSaid (x24432@1)a prayer and rifled
              EThrough (022100@1)his pockets

But the side of his mouth
                        AStill (x02220@1)had something to say
        DAt (xx0232@1)the toss of a coin
          GI (320003@1)end up head in the dirt
                 AAnd (x02220@1)tail in the air
                    DYet (xx0232@1)you can dance away
     G (320003@1)                     AmBut (x02210@1)be it friend of hard-up-man

=46ellow or kin
           DWhen (xx0232@1)the chips are down
                  GThey're (320003@1)down for good
