[Verse]
         C7               
Mr smith had an Oldsmobile
               F    C     
Baby blue with wire wheels
                        C7           C G7        
I took her home the day that she was ■ advertised
C7          C                    C7  
He said she leaked when it would rain
                F          
Sounded like an ■ aeroplane
      C7       G7             C7      
But I knew she was a jewel in disguise


[Chorus]
G7        C                          F     
She had a four hundred and fiftyfive Rocket
    F                  
The biggest block alive
C                              G7          
■ Couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn
    C                C7           F    
Umm she was made for the straight aways
                   F7           
She grew up hating ■  Chevrolets
C              G7              C7      G7
She's a rocket ■  she was made to burn ■ 


[Verse]
C                                         F   
Well whose junk pile piece of Chevelle is this
                   F7              C7  
You boys come here to race or just kiss
                        G7                                 C7
Mmm now don't you wanna know what I got underneath my hood ■ 
                                          F7
I know she might sound like she's missing ■ 
                F7                
Buddy she could teach you a lesson
          C7      G7                  C7      
In just a quarter mile and I'll smoke you good


[Chorus]
C G7    C                C7        F     
■ In my four hundred and fiftyfive Rocket
         F               
The kind the police drive
C7                                G7          
■  I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn
    C                  C7           F    
Mmm ■ she was made for the straight aways
F7                           
She grew up hating Chevrolets
C7             G7         C7          
She's a rocket ■  she was made to burn

[Verse]
C7          C   C7          F7     
I'm telling you and I ain't ashamed
             F7               
I cried when that wrecker came
C     G      C                   G7         
As we skid I thought I heard the angels sing
                       C7  
Sounded like the Beach Boys
                                   F7  
We hit the curve and then began to sail
                            C7  
Took out most of the safety rail
                      G7                  C            
Even the cop asked me Man what'd you have in that thing


[Chorus]
G7         C                C7        F     
■  I had a four hundred and fiftyfive Rocket
                  C    
The very kind you drive
                                   G7            
You oughta watch yourself when you take that turn
    C                      C7       F7   
Mmm ■ she was made for the straight aways
                   C7        
She grew up hating Chevrolets
C              G7         C7      F7  
She's a rocket ■  she was made to burn
C7                G7         C7          
Oh she's a rocket ■  she was made to burn
