...DRIVING IN MY CAR... by Madness
-----------------------...........
*from 'Utter Madness' (1986)*
Intro:
(n.C)
Verse 1:
I've been driving in my car,  
It's not quite a Jaguar.  
I bought it in Primrose Hill,  
From a bloke from Brazil.  
It was made in fifty-nine,
In a factory by the Tyne. 
It says Morris on the door, the G.P.O. owned it before.
I drive in it for my job, the governor calls me a slob.
But I don't really care, give me some gas and the open air.  
Interlude:
G Cm, G Cm
Verse 2:
It's a bit old but it's mine, I mend it in my spare time.
Just last week I changed the oil, the rocker valves and the coil.
Just last week I changed the oil.
Break:
D A, B F# (x2)
Middle 8:
Last week it went round the clock, I also had a little knock;
B E (n.C)
I dented somebody's fender, he learnt not to park on a bender!
Interlude:
D Am (x8)
Verse 3:
D (n.C) D Am
I've been driving in my car,
D (n.C) D Am
It don't look much but I've been far.
D (n.C) D Am
I drive up to Muswell Hill,
D (n.C) D Am
I've even been to Selsey bill.
I drove along the A-45,
I had her up to 58. 
This copper stopped me the other day,
You're mistaken; what could I say?
The tyres were a little worn,
They were O.K, I could have sworn.
I like driving in my car, I'm satisfied I've got this far.  
Interlude:
G Cm, G Cm, E
Coda:
I like driving in my car,  
It don't look much but I've been far.  
I like driving in my car,  
Even with a flat tyre.  
I like driving in my car,  
It's not quite a Jaguar.  
I like driving in my car, I'm satisfied I've got this far.
Outro:
D Am (x8)
