F G Dm F F G Dm F

    F                               G
I left my home in Monterey, just another low prospects man
     Dm                                 Dm
I'd rather work in a foundry than put fishes in a can
     F                 F                G
I'm thirty-five and I haven't traveled far
          Dm                                     Dm   F
And I've spent all my money on this misbegotten car

    Em                         F
I'm up against it all like a leaf against the wind
           F        Dm                 F
And this Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
    Dm   F    G         F        F
My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
   C7                                F
I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend
        G    F    F     F        G             F
But my damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again

G Dm F F G Dm F

        F                                     G
I was speeding south on ninety-nine when the manifold started smokin'
   Dm                            Dm            F
I ran her off the shoulder, and now the axle's broken
                      F                     G
It made a sound that cracked my heart in half
          Dm                             Dm   F
And with only half a half pint of vodka left

I'm up against it all like a leaf against the wind
And this Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
My Studebaker keeps on breaking down away
I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend
But my damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again

F G Dm F F G Dm F

     F         Dm                 F
My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
    Dm   F     G        F        F
My Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
    C7                                 F
I thought I'd go to Fresno just to see my friend
        G     F   F      F       G              F
But my damn Studebaker keeps on breaking down again
