(Intro:) w/riff A *
        ||  A   |  A   |  A    |  D   || 2x


(Verse 1:)
A
Yes I was driving my Hard Top Lincoln
D                       A
Way over by the county line
A     E/G#   F#m
Flying on by nearly hit the sky
D                        A  Amaj7 A7
Doing 'bout hundred and nine
D                                       A
When all of a sudden in my rear-view screen
D                        A
This cop car comes into sight
D                              A    E/G#   F#m
So I just turned around put my foot right down
H                      E
And I nearly took off yes in the night

(Chorus:)
A (w/ riff A)                    D
Oh Oh Oh in my Hard Top Lincoln Continental Continental
A                                D
Oh Oh Oh in my Hard Top Lincoln Continental

(Verse 2:)
A          E/G#       F#m
Yes I was driving my Hard Top Lincoln
D
Lord I let the motor moan
A        E/G#       F#m
Taking a five and a nine o nine
D                                A  Amaj7 A7
I called the D.A. on the radio phone
D                               A
I said D.A. I won't waste your time
D                               A
But your cops are kinda wasting mine
D                                A   E/G#  F#m
I'd appreciate it if you got them off my back
H                          E
And let me get going on my own sweet track

(Chorus:)
A (w/ riff A)                    D
Oh Oh Oh in my Hard Top Lincoln Continental Continental
A                                D
Oh Oh Oh in my Hard Top Lincoln Continental

(Verse 2:) Solos
