Cm                              Gm
It seems like all the world is fighting
A#                         F            F7
They're even talking of a war (ooo ooo ooo)
F
Let all the Russians and the Chinese
                          A#
And the Spanish do their fighting
             D7
The sun is shining
              G D     G  D
We're going drivin', drivin'

F             A#
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              A#
The sandwiches are packed
     E              A
The tea is in the flask
       D#        G#
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
A#                           F            F7
We'll have a picnic on the grass (ooo ooo ooo)

F7
Forget your nephews and your cousins
                            A#
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             A#
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

We'll talk to the cows
and laugh at the sheep
We'll lie in a field
and we'll have a sleep
So take a drive with me

And all the troubled world around us
Seems an eternity away
And all the debt collectors,
rent collectors all will be behind us
But they'll never find us

'Cos we'll be drivin'
Drivin'
Drivin'
Drivin'

Drive with me
Drive with me
Passed Barnet Church up to Potters Bar
We won't be home late, it's not very far
So take a drive with me
Take a drive with me
