Howdy y'all, I'm Pokey of The Stew Dogs  and I think  Fred Eaglesmith's 
Mighty Big Car is played like this here.  I'm a rhythem guitarist, and tend 
to think more about the strumming than the chord changes, so I like to 
simplify whenever I can.  I cannot read music, and do not have an "ear" for 
what note anything is.  Still, it seemed to come out pretty good when I 
played it like this...

Mighty Big Car
by Fred Eaglesmith

[Em]Down on the corner, up on the avenue,
People are pointin', calling out after you.
[Am]Hands on their hips, their eyes geting wider
They can't believe the thing that yer drivin'

[Em]28 feet from bumper to bumper
The last of the sweet old time gas guzzlers
[Am]Hard to drive harder to park But
when you do somebody remarks
[Em]That's a mighty big car
[Am]That's a mighty big car
[Em]That's a mighty big car

Elvis had one and so did Hank
It don't look like money
It looks like the bank
Makes a scene every time you stop it
Rides like a dream
Goes like a rocket
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car

Headlights thick as mason jars
Everybody says that it looks like Mars
Shiner than a country star
And nothing ever looked as good in your front yaaaaaaaard
Brighter than an aluminum trailer
Curvy windshields and tinted mirrors
Grill looks like a cafe sign
And the whitewalls drive ya out of yer mind
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car
That's a mighty big car
