I posted this on the Island of Misfits thread but thought I would put it here too. Written after watching the Superbowl and its commercials
Bob Dylan’s Selling Cars - Tune is Ballad of a Thin Man intro Am Am Dm Am Am Dm
Am Am/g#
You turned on the TV To watch the big football game
Am/g Am/f#
You do this every February And every year it’s all the same
F Dm
They tell how much the ads cost And it seems like such a shame
C Em Am
But it’s on in every home, club and bar
C Em Am
A hard rain must be falling on highway 61
F Am
Cause Bob Dylan is selling cars
The times they are a changing And the cars are changing too
The designers are forever young The hot color is Baby Blue
But it’s alright Ma Cause all I really want to do
Is forget about playing the guitar
Cause it’s positively 4th street In your new 5th Avenue
When Bob Dylan is selling cars
You won’t need a weatherman The wipers sense the weather
The seats are upholstered With Spanish leather
That comes from Maggies Farm And Detroit puts them together
I like to drive around for hours
But if I get stopped I might shoot the deputy
Cause Bob Dylan is selling cars
(Am) Dylan discovered that (C) Detroit is where it’s at
(F)Because the Chinese cats own 97.5 per cent of the (Am)nation
(Am)Oh sister, can’t you see (C) They’re not buying his CD’s
(F)People still play the LP’s they(Dm)bought during the folk music (G)generation (/g#)
He asks you to sit Behind the station wagon wheel
Then he asks you “How does it feel”
He’ll say “Don’t think twice” This is such a great deal
A gallon of gas will take you twice as far
He could sell ice to Quinn the Eskimo
Cause Bob Dylan’s selling cars
These accelerate quickly Like an answer blowin in the wind
But you ain’t goin nowhere Till you buy one my fried
Cause all along the watchtower Big Brother is looking in
And he’ll get you wherever you are
But I’ll be on all alone, like a rolling stone
Cause Bob Dylan is selling cars
