Tommy & Joe [Fred Eaglesmith] Contributed by: Barry McGuire (Key of E, played from open C position with capo at 4th fret) C Tommy and Joe lived out their lives Am Amongst the wrenches and the grease, And the ratchets and the flat tires C Ran a little garage on 65 Am They pumped a little gas to the cars that went by F On Saturday night they'd shut it down G Am G Am They's sit on the steps an watch the cars roll into town Tommy and Joe they lived out their lives Married to their wrenches like husbands and wives Didn't know nothin' there was nothin' to know 'cept if it wouldn't run they could make it go Grease on the floor, mud on the ground Fill it up, and shut it down Chorus: F Tommy and Joe they never wanted much Am Just the tickin' of the engine, the slippin' of the clutch F The breakin' of the tires, the whinin' of the wheels Am G Am The drivin' of the pistons, spark and fuel, oil and steel Then Detroit changed the rules, Fixin' cars without any tools Turn on the switches, switch on the lights Look at the screen when you're out of time Lock up the door, change the sign Shut off the pumps, and say good night Chorus: Tommy and Joe lived out their lives In some old shack out on 65 Out on the porch with a bottle of rye Callin' out the years of the cars that went by Blood on your knuckles, a twinkle in your eye Number nine cylinder's a little dry Chorus: Spark and Fuel, oil and steel #----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song.
