Intro: D



   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: 

     G             D
It’s seen a lot of tan legs, 

               G
Got a kick ass radio, 

               A                                       G           A
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  A           D
Don’t hang a for sale sign above the dashboard 



Chorus: 

     G             D
It’s seen a lot of tan legs, 

               G
Got a kick ass radio, 

               A                                       G           A
Heard a lot of singing along to some country songs and rock & roll, 

        D                               G

         A                                       G

             A                        G

            A                    D
Just tape a picture of me on the dashboard



            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
