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

It's seen a lot of tan legs,
               G
Got a kick ass radio,
               A                                       G
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

He said the paint is peeling off,
 G
It's got dents in both the doors
 A
If something happens to me,
                      G              D
Don't hang a for sale sign above the dashboard

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
