Dear Mr Ford
  F               C
I dearly loved my van
   F     C Am
My 85 F-150
      Dm             G
was a beauty when it ran
       C            G          C   G C
But it didn't run a long, long time
     F                C
So I buried it in the ground
    F               C             Am
And sure it makes a little bit of smell
       Dm    G       C     G C
But it never makes a sound


[Chorus]
      G
Cause things fell off
    C
and things let go
    G
And nuts loosened up
          C
and I was always being towed
G
Things would seize
      C
and refuse to work
      G
And I always felt
       C
like a real jerk
F         C      G
Out there on the road
        F   C        G
when my van wouldn't go
G
So


[Verse 2]
      C       G            C    G C
I got sick of dragging it 'ome,
F                    C
Wouldn't it rot your socks;
F               C         Am
Just as I fixed one thing on,
  Dm               G
another thing fell off;
     C         G      C      G C
So I buried it in the ground,
       F                 C
With a four inch pipe up through her,
    F                C  Am Dm   G       C       G C
And now I got me an '85 F-150 Econoline sewer.


[Chorus]
      G
Cause things fell off
    C
and things let go
    G
And nuts loosened up
          C
and I was always being towed
G
Things would seize
      C
and refuse to work
      G
And I always felt
       C
like a real jerk
F         C      G
Out there on the road
        F   C        G
when my van wouldn't go
G
So

Dear Mr Ford,
    F                  C
Got thinking the other day:
           F
You know myself 'n' the other fellers
      C              Am
kinda like the old interior,
  Dm                     G
I guess we're willing to pay.
      C          G         C    G C
We're ordering a brand new van,
          F            C
With them seats custom made;
            F                     C     Am
We're gonna park it on top of the sewer pipe,
    Dm                G        C
And that's where it's going to stay.


[Chorus]
G                         C
Things won't fall off and won't let go,
G                       C
Nuts won't loosen up, I won't need a tow;
G                       C
Things won't seize or refuse to work,
G                          C
Though I might look like a real jerk,
      F      C      G
Every time I got to go.
            F        C     G
But it will pleasure me to know,


[Outro]
        F             G    C    G C
That my outhouse will be a Ford!
