I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like ^Cthat with the ^Embeautiful girl^G and be king of the tr^Dack But the truth is when all was said and ^Cdone it was his ^EmCobra I wanted ^G- the car was the on^De ^C It was his ^EmCobra I wanted ^G- the car was the on^De ^{C Em G} The car was the on^De ^{C Em G} The car was the on^De ^{C Em G}
