 D                                       G
We laughed and joked in the cab of his truck
          D           G
Just my brother and me
     D                               G
The night before he shipped out overseas
   D                      G
A leatherneck, jarhead marine
             A                      Em
He said the radiator leaks and the timing belt
is worn
         A                                  Em  A
But the heart and soul of this old beat-up truck,
        D
Is the Dashboard

Chorus:
                    D
It's seen a lot of tan legs,
                G
Got a kick ass radio,
                A
Heard a lot of singing along to some
 F#m               G        Em A
country songs and rock & roll,
       D                                G
Got a 38 bullet hole, courtesy of Kate Tillman's
dad,
           A                     F#m
A lot of scotch tape marks from holding timeless
  G
photographs
                    C                  G 
He said if I don't come back, you can have this Ford
             Em         A         D
Just tape a picture of me on the dashboard

              A  
He said the paint is peeling off,
           G 
It's got dents in both the doors
              A  
If something happens to me,
                       Em A           D
Don't hang a for sale sign above the dashboard

Chorus:
"It's seen a lot of tan legs
Got a kick ass radio
Heard alot of singing along with some country songs
And rock and roll
Got a .38 bullet hole,
courtesy of Kate Tillman's dad
Alot of scotch tape marks
from holding timeless photographs."
He said "If I don't come back
You can have this Ford
Just tape a picture of me, on the dashboard."

I Had the Engine overhauled
A paint-job and brand new chrome
I Had her washed and waxed, sittin' in the drive
The day that he came home

I said "Here's the keys
She's all yours
I fixed everything
But the dashboard
