Artist: Alan Jackson
Tab by: jamez_jess_fan

This is the way I saw him playing it on the ACM awards.
Capo 4th Fret.

G                  D
It was painted red the stripe was white
        C
It was eighteen feet from the bow to the stern light
G                 D
Secondhand from a dealer in Atlanta
  C
I rode up with daddy when he went there to get her
G                  D
We put on a shine; put on a motor
C
Built out of love, made for the water
G                   D
Ran her for years, 'til the transom got rotten
  C
A piece of my childhood that will never be forgotten

G                  D
It was just on old plywood boat
        C
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke
G               D
A young boy two hands on the wheel
  C
I can't replace the way it made me feel
             G
And I would turn her sharp
             D
And I would make her whine
           C
He'd say, "you can't beat the way an old wood boat rides"
Em                            A
Just a little lake across the Alabama line
          C
But I was king of the ocean
D                 G    D C D
When daddy let me drive

G                    D
Just an old half ton shortbed ford
   C
My uncle bought new in '64
G                             D
Daddy got it right 'cause the engine was smoking
  C
A couple of burnt valves and he had it going
G                             D
He let me drive her when we'd haul off a load
       C
Down a dirt strip where we'd dump trash off of Thigpen Road
G                                     D
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
C
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal


G                  D
It was just an old hand-me-down Ford
       C
With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door
G               D
A young boy two hands on the wheel
  C
I can't replace the way it mode me feel
            G
And I would press that clutch
            D
And I would keep it right
               C
And he'd say, "a little slower son you're doing just fine"
G                     D
Just a dirt rood with trash on each side
          C
But I was Mario Andretti
D                 G    
When daddy let me drive


Solo: all I have are the chords.

D C D G D C D

G                       	 D
I'm grown up now three daughters of my own
  C
I let them drive my old Jeep across the pasture at our home
G                     D
Maybe one day they'll reach back in their file
    C
And pull out that old memory
    
And think of me and smile and say

G                  D
It was just an old worn out Jeep
C
Rusty old floorboard, hot on my feet
  G              D
A young girl two hands on the wheel
C
I can't replace the way it made me feel
               G                D
And he'd say, "turn it left and steer it right,
C
Straighten up girl, you're doing just fine"
G                    D
Just a little valley by the river where we'd ride
          C
But I was high on a mountain
D                 G
When daddy let me drive
D                 C
When daddy let me drive
             G
Oh he let me drive
D            C     D
Daddy let me drive

G                D
It's just an old plywood boat
        C
With a '75 Johnson with electric choke


Thats it. Enjoy. Please make any correctons.

instead of using the barre chords, the capo on the 4th makes this song extremely easy to play, thanks a lot and great job
