[G]      [D]     [Am]    [C]

There was a [G]sheet metal moon

The night that Jimmy lost his life
[C]Swimming in the [D]carburetor [G]lines
He was [G]last seen kissing

The rings of the pistons
And [C]drinking with the [D]gears as they [G]grind

[C]Saturday night
And the [G]sheet metal moon
Plays [D]tricks with my eyes
As it [C]burns through the fumes
The [C]sheet metal moon shines
We'd [G]better take a ride
[D]Out to the bridge
Where we [C]used to get high

The [G]skinny kid said

Jimmy couldn't be dead
He just went [C]out to get
Some [D]speed and kill the [G]pain
[G]Crossing double lines

And shutting down his headlights
And [C]passing in the [D]oncoming [G]lanes

[C]Saturday night
And the [G]sheet metal moon
Plays [D]tricks with my eyes
As it [C]burns through the fumes
The [C]sheet metal moon shines
We'd [G]better take a ride
[D]Out to the bridge
Where we [C]used to get high

But there [G]seems to be no [D]sign
As the [Am]timing chain is [C]throwing links
And [G]not keeping [D]time
As the [Am]manifold is [C]gasping as
The [G]rocker arms [D]wave goodbye
From [Am]under the bridge
Where [C]everybody got [G]high   [D]         [Am]               [C]
[G]High   [D]         [Am]               [C]

And the [G]black line you struck

And kid, it's just your luck
It [C]looks like you [D]crippled your [G]frame
The [G]wells won't hold

And the bolts all broke
And the [C]shards of glass
Are [D]swimming in your [G]brain

[C]Saturday night
And the [G]sheet metal moon
[D]Lights up the road
As I [C]drive to the tune
The [C]sheet metal moon and I
Are [G]riding alone
[D]Out to the bridge
Where we [C]used to get stoned

[C]Saturday night
And the [G]sheet metal moon
Is [D]still playing tricks
As I [C]walk through the rooms
I [C]drank all the fuel
As I [G]breathe in the fumes
Out on [D]West Adams Road
When I went [C]looking for you

[C]Saturday night
And the [G]sheet metal moon
Plays [D]tricks with my eyes
As it [C]burns through the fumes
The [C]sheet metal moon shines
We'd [G]better take a ride
[D]Out to the bridge
Where we [C]used to get high

But there [G]seems to be no [D]sign
As the [Am]timing chain is [C]throwing links
And [G]not keeping [D]time
As the [Am]manifold is [C]gasping as
The [G]rocker arms [D]wave goodbye
From [Am]under the bridge
Where [C]everybody got [G]high   [D]         [Am]               [C]
[G]High   [D]         [Am]               [C]
[G]      [D]     [Am]    [C]     [G]
