In Concert
1964
CAR-CAR
Woody Guthrie- Folkways Music Pub. Inc. BMI

(This song is a combination of spoken segments with vocal sound effects and singing. This will be the basic lyric only as the performance is far more than can be easily written down).

Chorus:
Take me for a ride in your Car-Car
Take me for a ride in your Car-Car
Take me for a ride, Take me for a ride,
Take me for a ride in your Car-Car

(spoken and sound effects segment)
Take me for a ride in your Mac Truck
Take me for a ride in your truck, mack
Take me for a ride, take me for a ride,
Take me for a ride in your Mac Truck, Mack

(spoken and sound effects segment)

(Chorus)

(Spoken segment, with sound effects, then Mary sings...)
Take me for a ride in your car-car
Take me for a ride in your car-car
Take me for a ride, take me for a ride,
Take me for a ride in your 3.2 liter Ferrari
with torsion bar suspension
and those ported venturi carburetors!

(another spoken and sound effects segment to the end of the song)


Intro: A C#m D E (2x)

Note: The verse begins the second time E is played in the intro

(Verse Part 1)
E A C#m D
If I had a hammer
E A C#m D
I'd hammer in the morning
E A C#m D
I'd hammer in the evening
E
all over this land,

(Verse Part 2)
E A
I'd hammer out danger
Dmaj7**
I'd hammer out a warning
D A D A D
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
E A C#m D
All over this land.

** I play this as Dmaj7 but its not quite right. I'm not
sure what this actual chord is, but you can play either
Dmaj7 or D and it sounds fine.

(Verse Part 1)
If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land,

(Verse Part 2)
I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.

(Verse Part 1)
If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
all over this world,

(Verse Part 2)
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.

(Verse Part 1)
If I've got a hammer
And I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing
all over this land,

(Verse Part 2)
It's a hammer of justice
It's a bell of freedom
It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land.

(Last verse Repeated)
It's a hammer of justice
It's a bell of freedom
It's a song about love between my brothers and my sisters
E A D A
All over this land

{title:Freight Train}
{st:Elizabeth Cotton}
F[C]reight train, Freight train, g[G7]oin' so fast,
Freight train, Freight train, g[C]oin' so fast,
P[E7]lease don't tell what t[F]rain I'm on
So they w[C]on't know w[G7]here I'm g[C]one.

Freight train, Freight train, goin' round the bend,
Freight train, Freight train, comin' back again,
One of these days turn that train around
And go back to my home town.

One more place I'd like to be,
One more place I'd lie to see,
To watch them old Blue Ridge Mountains climb,
When I ride old number nine.

When I die Lord, Bury me deep,
Down at the end of Chestnut street,
Where I can hear old number nine
As she comes down the line.

Freight train, Freight train, goin' so fast,
Freight train, Freight train, goin' so fast,
Please don't tell what train I'm on
So they won't know where I'm gone.

A D
All my bags are packed I'm ready to go,
A D
I'm standing here outside your door,
A D E
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
A D
But the dawn is breaking it's early morn,
A D
The taxi's waiting it's blowing his horn,
A D E
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.

PRE-CHORUS:

A D
So kiss me and smile for me,
A D
Tell me that you'll wait for me,
A D E
Hold me like you'll never let me go.


CHORUS:

A D
'Cause I'm leaving on a jetplane,
A D
Don't know when I'll be back again
A D E
Oh babe I hate to go.

Now just continue like that for all the rest including chorus, pre-chorus and verse.

Enjoy!
