Pontiac Chords

(ver. 1)
Fred Eaglesmith

PONTIAC  (Fred Eaglesmith)

The chords to this are essentially just E and C#, however the chorus works 
better with an Eminor from the 7th fret.  I recommend playing the full chords, 
not power chords, if playing this acoustically.  Also, when this song gets 
going, try playing A7/B7 (Johnny Cash style), instead of the C-it's a nice 
modification.


Intro
E  C#  E  C#

E
It's a Pontiac
C#                                                E
It's a '63 Stratochief with a three on the tree
             C#
And it belongs to me
  E                             C#
And my baby
E
Her and me
             C# 	  	  	  	 E
We go driving down old highway seventeen
 	  	 C#
She puts on the radio
 	  	 E
Rolls down the window
 	  	 C#
Lays her head back
 	  	 E
It's a Pontiac


E 	  	  	  	          C#
It ain't got no wild horses painted on the side
 	    E 	  	  	  	 C#
And the objects in the mirror are precisely their own size
E 	  	  	        C#
It's got a chrome Indian in front of the door

E 	  	  	       C#
Might be an Apache or an Arapaho
E 	  	  	  	 C# 	  	  	 E 	  	  	 C#
Or a Pontiac

chorus
Em
There was an incident last night
C#
At seventeen and third
    Em 	  	  	       C# 	  	  	 
It all happened so fast nobody's really sure
    Em 	  	  	                   C#
But somebody held the rifle, somebody held the sack
E
And as fast as they were there
 	  	     C#
Well they were gone just like that
E 	  	  	 C# 	  	  	 E 	  	  	 C#
In a Pontiac

E 	  	  	  	       C#
The anti-freeze is boiling and the oil pressure's low
 	 E 	  	  	  	      C#                  
And the pedal's to the metal and it's as fast as it can go
 	      E 	  	  	  	     C#                    
And the stain on her shoulder I getting darker you know
              E 	  	  	  	 C#
And the radio keep blasting out the facts
E 	  	  	 C# 	  	  	 E 	  	  	 C#
It's a Pontiac
