GThere (320003@1)was a sheet metal moon

The night that Jimmy lost his life
C (x32010@1)             D (xx0232@1)        GSwimming (320003@1)in the carburetor lines
       GHe (320003@1)was last seen kissing

The rings of the pistons
    C (x32010@1)               D (xx0232@1)           GAnd (320003@1)drinking with the gears as they grind

CSaturday (x32010@1)night
        GAnd (320003@1)the sheet metal moon
      DPlays (xx0232@1)tricks with my eyes
      CAs (x32010@1)it burns through the fumes
    CThe (x32010@1)sheet metal moon shines
     GWe'd (320003@1)better take a ride
DOut (xx0232@1)to the bridge
         CWhere (x32010@1)we used to get high

And shutting down his headlights
    C (x32010@1)            D (xx0232@1)      GAnd (320003@1)passing in the oncoming lanes

    CThe (x32010@1)sheet metal moon shines
     GWe'd (320003@1)better take a ride
DOut (xx0232@1)to the bridge
         CWhere (x32010@1)we used to get high

But there seems to be no sign
       Am (x02210@1)            CAs (x32010@1)the timing chain is throwing links
    G (320003@1)         DAnd (xx0232@1)not keeping time
       Am (x02210@1)        CAs (x32010@1)the manifold is gasping as

[Verse]

GAnd (320003@1)the black line you struck

And kid, it's just your luck
   C (x32010@1)            D (xx0232@1)           GIt (320003@1)looks like you crippled your frame
    GThe (320003@1)wells won't hold

And the bolts all broke
        CAnd (x32010@1)the shards of glass
    D (xx0232@1)              GAre (320003@1)swimming in your brain

[Chorus]

DLights (xx0232@1)up the road
     CAs (x32010@1)I drive to the tune
    CThe (x32010@1)sheet metal moon and I
    GAre (320003@1)riding alone
DOut (xx0232@1)to the bridge
         CWhere (x32010@1)we used to get stoned

CSaturday (x32010@1)night
        GAnd (320003@1)the sheet metal moon
   DIs (xx0232@1)still playing tricks
     CAs (x32010@1)I walk through the rooms
  CI (x32010@1)drank all the fuel
     GAs (320003@1)I breathe in the fumes
       DOut (xx0232@1)on West Adams Road
            CWhen (x32010@1)I went looking for you

CSaturday (x32010@1)night
