Intro: A D G
D G
We laughed and joked in the cab of his truck
D G
Just my brother and me
D G
The night before he shipped out overseas
D G
A leatherneck, jarhead marine
A G
He said the radiator leaks and the timing belt is worn
A G A
But the heart and soul of this old beat-up truck,
D
Is the Dashboard
[Chorus]
D
It's seen a lot of tan legs,
G
Got a kick ass radio,
A G
Heard a lot of singing along to some country songs and rock & roll,
D G
Got a .38 bullet hole, courtesy of Kate Tillman's dad,
A G
A lot of scotch tape marks from holding timeless photographs
A G
He said if I don't come back, you can have this Ford
A D
Just tape a picture of me on the dashboard
A
He said the paint is peeling off,
G
It's got dents in both the doors
A
If something happens to me,
G D
Don't hang a for sale sign above the dashboard
[Chorus]
D
I had the engine overhauled,
G
A paint job and brand new chrome,
A
I had her washed and waxed,
G
Sitting in the drive the day he came home
A G
I said here's your keys, she's all yours
A D
I fixed everything, but the dashboard
