 The chorus moves around Dsus and G.
 From: Nathan Beach
 I sort of figured out Stupid Car, which is one of my favourites. It's
 done nearly all on the D, G, and B strings. Both the E-strings are
 damped throughout.
 These fingerings should be used:
 xx022x
 xx023x
 xx043x
 This song mostly involves sliding between the D7 and Dmaj chords.
 I find it hard to drive your stupid car...
 
 I find it hard 'cause I never get that far...
 
 And you put my brain in overload,
 
 I can't change gears, I cannot see the road.
 
 You've got concrete eyes
 and I cannot see your face.
 And I failed in life
 'cause you crushed me with your hate (thanks, Steph!)
 And you put my brain in overload
 I can't change gears
 I cannot see the
 Road...road...
 Dmaj (let the low A in some, whatever, strum with reckless abandon).
 That's a dun dun ticka ticka dun dun ticka ticka rhythm.
 This is a lovely song, hope you enjoy playing it as much as I do.

The chorus moves around  Dsus and G.

From: Nathan Beach

I sort of figured out Stupid Car, which is one of my favourites.  It's
done nearly all on the D, G, and B strings.  Both the E-strings are
damped throughout.

These fingerings should be used:

xx022x [D7]
xx023x [D]
xx043x [Bm9]

This song mostly involves sliding between the D7 and Dmaj chords.

I find it hard to drive your stupid car...
          [D]    [Bm9]          [D7]  [D7] [D]

I find it hard 'cause I never get that far...
          [D]          [Bm9]      [D7]   [D7] [D]

And you put my brain in overload,
        [D]   [D7]       [Bm9] [D]

I can't change gears, I cannot see the road.
  [D]         [D7]       [Bm9]     [D]

You've got concrete eyes
and I cannot see your face.
And I failed in life
'cause you crushed me with your hate (thanks, Steph!)

And you put my brain in overload
I can't change gears
I cannot see the
Road...road...
Dmaj (let the low A in some, whatever, strum with reckless abandon).
That's a dun dun ticka ticka dun dun ticka ticka rhythm.

This is a lovely song, hope you enjoy playing it as much as I do.
