I'm English and struggle to understand the accent sometimes, so I'm expecting there to
be a few lyric mistakes in here! I'll correct them as soon as I know what they are!
Capo 5
Intro: C F Am F x2
[C]Quarter in a payphone
Drying laundry on the line
Watching [Bb]sun tea in the window
Pocket [F]watch for telling time
[C]Seems like only yesterday
I'd get a blank cassette
Rec[Bb]ord the Country Countdown
'Cos I [F]couldn't buy it yet
[C] [F]
If we drove [C]all the way to Dallas
Just to buy an Easter dress
We'd take al[Bb]ong a Rand McNally
Stand in [F]line to pay for gas
God [C]knows that shifting gears
Ain't what it used to be
I learned to [Bb]drive that '55
Just like a [F]Queen three on the trip
[C]Hey whatever happened to[F]
Waiting your tu[Am]rn
Doing it al[F]l by hand
'Cos when [C]everything is handed to yo[F]u
It's only wo[Am]rth as much as the tim[F]e you put in
It [Bb]all just seems so good the way we h[F]ad it
[Bb]Back before everything bec[F]ame, Autom[C]atic
[F] [Am] [F]
If [C]you had something to say
You'd write in on a piece of paper
And you'd [Bb]put a stamp on it
And they'd [F]get it three days later
[C]Boys would call the girls
And girls would turn them down
Staying [Bb]married was the only way
To [F]work your problems out
[C]Hey whatever happened to[F]
Waiting your tu[Am]rn
Doing it al[F]l by hand
'Cos when [C]everything is handed to yo[F]u
It's only wo[Am]rth as much as the tim[F]e you put in
It [Bb]all just seems so good the way we h[F]ad it
[Bb] [F] [C][F]
[Am]Bac[F]k before everything became, Automatic, yeah
Auto[C]matic[F][Am][F]
Lets's [C]roll the windows down
Windows with the cranks
Come [Bb]on let's take a picture
The [F]kind you gotta shake
[C]Hey whatever happened to[F]
Waiting your tu[Am]rn
Doing it al[F]l by hand
'Cos when [C]everything is handed to yo[F]u
It's only wo[Am]rth as much as the tim[F]e you put in
It [Bb]all just seems so good the way we h[F]ad it
[Bb] [F] [C][F]
[Am]Bac[F]k before everything became, Automatic, yeah

Outro: F Am F C
