F           Bb          E           A                      

Doo doo doo doo. Dididi doo doo doo doo

Eb          Ab        D           G                          

Doo doo doo doo doo.  Did did doo doo

D              G                            

Dididi doo doo doo



Cm                               Gm         

  It seems like all the world is fighting

Bb                         F            F7   

 They're even talking of a war (ooo ooo ooo)

F                                         

Let all the Russians and the Chinese

                         Bb                

And the Spanish do their fighting

           D7                             

The sun is shining

            G  D     G  D                    

We're going drivin', drivin'



F             Bb                            

Drop all your work

E          A                               

Leave it behind

D               G                           

Forget all your problems

C#            F#                             

And get in my car

           C#         F#                     

And take a drive with me

                                         



    F              Bb                       

The sandwiches are packed

    E             A                        

The tea is in the flask

      Eb        Ab                          

We've plenty of beer

    D          G                           

And gooseberry tarts

          D          G                     

So take a drive with me

                                         

Cm                              Gm           

  We'll take your mother if you want to                                         

Bb                           F               F7

  We'll have a picnic on the grass  (ooo ooo ooo)



F7                                         

Forget your nephews and your cousins 

                           Bb             

And your brothers and your sisters                                         

              D7                           

They'll never miss us                                         

              G  D     G  D     G  D     G  D       

'Cos we'll be drivin', drivin'. drivin'. drivin'

F            Bb                            

Thousands of trees

E           A                              

Hundreds of fields

D           G                              

Millions of birds

   C#            F#                          

So why don't you come

           C#         F#                              

And take a drive with me



      F           Bb                        

We'll talk to the cows

    E            A                         

And laugh at the sheep

      D        G                           

We'll lie in a field

    C#           F#                                     

And we'll have a sleep

          C#         F#                               

So take a drive with me



Cm                            Gm

  And all the troubled world around us

Bb                   F            F7          

  Seems an eternity away (ooo ooo ooo)

F                                         

And all the debt collectors, rent collectors

            Bb                             

All will be behind us

                  D7                       

But they'll never find us

              G  D     G  D     G  D     G  D    

'Cos we'll be drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin'



   (Solo- F  Bb  E  A  Eb  Ab  D  G )

D          G    D          G                                        

Drive with me...Drive with me...

                                         

F             Bb

Passed Barnet Church

E               A                          

  Up to Potters Bar

   Eb            Ab                          

We won't be home late

     D        G                            

It's not very far

          D          G          D          G   (Break)

So take a drive with me, take a drive with me

G  D     G  D     G  D     G  D                  

Drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin'   ....repeat into the sunset



Note: On the 'Drivin'.. parts, the bass does A nice walk. G F# F E D E F F# G

kind of thing. And remember, don't go too fast and don't drink while playing

this song.
