E
rhinestone kid on a freeway star
F#
an ’87 pickup and a red guitar
B
playin’ like an angel with a broken wing
A
a song of true love for his girl darlene

E
they haven’t seen each other for a year or so
F#
man , he misses her like we all miss that tv show
B
where he first performed that love song ’bout a year ago
A
well , if ya haven’t heard it yet then this is how it goes . . .

E/F# F#/A#
ro – de – o – uh – oh – oh – oh
B
like the buffalos do it by the wishing well
A
’cause they haven’t got no money for a cheap motel
E/F# F#/A#
ro – de – o – uh – oh – oh – oh
B
what sweeter thing could happen to a boy an’ a girl?
A
we gotta do it like mechanical rabbits from hell , yeah

repeat chords throughout entire song . . .

it was the sweetest song playin’ on the radio
from the edge of alabama down to mexico
it was a number one hit but darlene didn’t know
whom her fav’rite song was fo’

but everytime she hears it , her heart , like a gong
would tremble for the man for whom she longs
. . . for whom she longs . . .
and ’en she starts to sing along . . .

ro – de – o – uh – oh – oh – oh
we gotta do it for a reason , gotta do it for fun
we gotta sparkle like tequila in the hot . . . hot sun , yeah!

ro – de – o – uh – oh – oh – oh
we gotta do it like sinatra used to do “my way”
an’ in the background there’s that beck dude singin’ odelay
