Standard (EADGBE)

 FIRE RED T-BIRD MADE ME LOOK A LITTLE OUT OF STYLE

 AS I SAT THERE IN DADDY'S OLD BELLE-AIR

 LINED UP FOR THE QUARTER MILE

 EVERYBODY FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL

 SHOWED UP AND GATHERED ROUND

 I WAS SCARED TO DEATH AND PRAYING TO MYSELF

 NOW CHEVY DON'T LET ME DOWN

 BECKY JOE DROPPED THE TOWEL ON THE ROAD

 AND WE BOTH STEPPED ON THE GAS

 WE WERE RUNNING NECK AND NECK

 WHEN WE REACHED THE OVERPASS

 HE WAS PUSHING THAT T-BIRD

 AND I HEARD MAKE AN AWFUL SOUND

 I JUST LAUGHED AND PATTED ON THE DASH

 AND SAID CHEVY DON'T LET ME DOWN

Chorus

 DON'T LET ME DOWN

 THAT STEADY OLD CHEVY HAS SEEN ME HAPPY AND SEEN ME SAD

 WE CRUISED THROUGH A LOT OF GOOD TIMES

 AND ROLLED OUT THE BAD

 IT'LL NEVER SEE A FOR SALE SIGN

 AS LONG AS I'M AROUND

 YEAH, FRIENDS MAY COME AND FRIENDS MAY GO

 BUT THAT CHEVY DON'T LET ME DOWN

Verse 2

 IT'S BEEN KNOWN TO RUN HOT SPUTTER OUT FROM TIME TO TIME

 AND THAT'S JUST WHAT IT DID ON AN OLD DIRT ROAD

 WITH BECKY JOE SITTING BY MY SIDE

 WHILE WE WAITED FOR IT TO COOL OFF

 THINGS HEATED UP ALL AROUND

 YEAH I MIGHT HAVE MISSED THAT VERY FIRST KISS

 BUT THIS CHEVY DON'T LET ME DOWN

Chorus

 DON'T LET ME DOWN

 THAT STEADY OLD CHEVY HAS SEEN ME HAPPY AND SEEN ME SAD

 WE CRUISED THROUGH A LOT OF GOOD TIMES

 AND ROLLED OUT THE BAD

 IT'LL NEVER SEE A FOR SALE SIGN

 AS LONG AS I'M AROUND

 YEAH, FRIENDS MAY COME AND FRIENDS MAY GO

 BUT THAT CHEVY DON'T LET ME DOWN

Verse

 LATER ON SHE AND I SPENT MANY A NIGHT

 WITH THE TOP DOWN UNDER THE MOON

 AND AFTER THE WEDDING IT TOOK ME AND BECKY

 ON A HELL OF A HONEYMOON

Chorus

 DON'T LET ME DOWN

 THAT STEADY OLD CHEVY HAS SEEN ME HAPPY AND SEEN ME SAD

 WE CRUISED THROUGH A LOT OF GOOD TIMES

 AND ROLLED OUT THE BAD

 IT'LL NEVER SEE A FOR SALE SIGN

 AS LONG AS I'M AROUND

 YEAH, FRIENDS MAY COME AND FRIENDS MAY GO

 BUT THAT CHEVY DON'T LET ME DOWN

 YOU KNOW, FRIENDS MAY COME AND FRIENDS MAY GO

 BUT THAT CHEVY DON'T LET ME DOWN
