Jaguar And Thunderbird Chords & Lyrics - Chuck Berry

[CHORUS]
[C5]Slow down, little Jaguar
[C5]Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford

[VERSE 1]
[C5]Ten miles stretch on an Indiana road
[C5]T'was a sky blue Jaguar and a Thunderbird Ford
[C5]Jaguar setting on ninety-nine
[C5]Tryin' to beat the Bird to the county line
[C5]Just a half-a-mile from Ludenville
[C5]Had a speed sign sitting at the top of the hill
[C5]It said, "35 miles, and stay in line"
[C5]But the Jaguar and Thunderbird never read the sign

[CHORUS]
[N.C.]Slow down, little Jaguar
[C5]Kee[N.C.]p cool, little Thunderbird Ford

[VERSE 2]
[C5]Ludenville was a real small town
[C5]Had a hundred and two and nine acres of ground
[C5]Some stool pigeon put the sheriff wise
[C5]Told him, "Park down in Ludenville and catch 'em guys"
[C5]Sheriff laid low down, hid in the weeds
[C5]Parked for eight days, didn't nobody speed
[C5]All of a sudden, dust rose on the road
[C5]Said, "Here come the Jaguar and Thunderbird Ford"

[CHORUS]
[N.C.]Slow down, little Jaguar
[C5]Kee[N.C.]p cool, little Thunderbird Ford

[VERSE 3]
[C5]Sheriff doubled clutched second, put it in third
[C5]Took right after the Jaguar and Thunderbird
[C5]He knew he'd get a bonus and a big fat fine
[C5]If he caught 'em 'fore they crossed that county line
[C5]Sheriff never drove his car a hundred and flat
[C5]But if he aimed to get 'em, he'd have to do more than that
[C5]Crest of the hill, is about a yard behind
[C5]There wasn't but two more miles to the county line

[CHORUS]
[N.C.]Slow down, little Jaguar
[C5]Kee[N.C.]p cool, little Thunderbird Ford

[VERSE 4]
[C5]Old Sheriff was countin' on the downward grade
[C5]With the tall wind pushin', he had it made
[C5]Thunderbird saw the Jaguar gainin' speed
[C5]And waved "Goodbye, Jaguar" and pulled in the lead
[C5]Jaguar said, "You ain't won the race yet"
[C5]And pulled back around the Bird like a sabre jet
[C5]Sheriff's front bumper was a yard behind
[C5]When the T-Bird, Jaguar crossed the line

[CHORUS]
[N.C.]Slow down little Jaguar
[C5]Kee[N.C.]p cool little Thunderbird Ford

[OUTRO]
[C5]Slow down, little Jaguar
[C5]Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford
[C5]Slow down, little Jaguar
[C5]Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford
[C5]Slow down, little Jaguar
[C5]Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford
[C5]Slow down, little Jaguar
[C5]Keep cool, little Thunderbird Ford
