Em G
A thousand dollar car it ain't worth nothin'
D C
A thousand dollar car it ain't worth shit
Em G
Might as well take your thousand dollars
D C
And set fire to it
Em G
A thousand dollar car ain't worth a dime
D C
You lose your thousand dollars every time
Em G D
Oh why did I ever buy
Em
A thousand dollar car
A thousand dollar car is gonna let you down
More than it's ever gonna get you around
Replace your gaskets and paint over your rust
You'll still end up with something that you'll never trust
A thousand dollar car's life was through
'Bout fifty thousand miles before it got to you
Oh why did I ever buy
A thousand dollar car
Bridge
Am D
A thousand dollar car ain't gonna roll
G G/F# C
Until you put at least another thousand in the hole
Am D
Sink your money in it , and there you are
C D
The owner of a two thousand dollar thousand dollar car
Verse 3
If you only got a thousand dollars
You might as well buy a good guitar
Learn how to play, it'll get you farther
Than any old thousand dollar car
If a thousand dollar car was to worth a damn
Then why would anybody ever spend ten grand
Oh why did I ever buy
A thousand dollar car
That's it. Hope everyone enjoys it.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BOTTLE ROCKETS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
