Intro:

D  Am

Verse 1:

D                  Am        D  Am
 I've been driving in my car,
D                 Am      D  Am
 It's not quite a Jaguar.
D               Am            D  Am
 I bought it in Primrose Hill,
D             Am          D  Am
 From a bloke from Brazil.

G               F
 It was made in fifty-nine,
G                         A+
 In a factory by the Tyne.

D               Am
 It says Morris on the door,
    D            Am
The G.P.O. owned it before.

D              Am
 I drive in it for my job,
    D              Am
The governor calls me a slob.
G            F
 But I don't really care,
     D                   Am       D  Am
Give me some gas and the open air.

Interlude:

G  Cm, G  Cm

Verse 2:

D               Am
 It's a bit old but it's mine,
D             Am
 I mend it in my spare time.

D                 Am
 Just last week I changed the oil,
    D             Am
The rocker valves and the coil.
G                 F
 Just last week I changed the oil.

Break:

D  A  B  F# (x2)

Middle 8:

     A
Last week it went round the clock,
  Bb
I also had a little knock;
B
 I dented somebody's fender,
E (n.c)
 He learnt not to park on a bender!

Interlude:

D  Am (x8)

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/madness/27132.html ]
D                  Am        D  Am
 I've been driving in my car,
   D                   Am            D  Am
It don't look much but I've been far.
D              Am           D  Am
 I drive up to Muswell Hill,
     D            Am          D  Am
I've even been to Selsey bill.

  G                 F
I drove along the A-45,
  G                 A+
I had her up to 58.
D                           Am
 This copper stopped me the other day,
D                      Am
 You're mistaken; what could I say?

    D            Am
The tyres were a little worn,
          D      Am
They were O.K, I could have sworn.

G               F
 I like driving in my car,

I'm satisfied I've got this far.

It don't look much but I've been far.

 I like driving in my car,
