HAROLD'S SUPER SERVICE
Recorded by Merle Haggard
Words and music by Bobby Wayne

[G] Now me, I work at Harold's Super Service
We specialize in service all the [D] way
And there's [G] only one thing - really [C] bugs me
This [D] big old boy in his stripped down Model [G] A.

[G] At Harold's Super Service, we do grease jobs
We fix 30 or 40 flats ev'ry [D] day
And [G] just about the time we get real [C] busy
Here [D] comes that guy in his stripped down Model [G] A.

CHORUS
[G] He says, "Gimme 50 cents worth of regular
Check my oil too, if you don't [D] mind
Put some [G] air in my tires, won't you [C] mister?
[D] Check my windows too, if you have [G] time.

Last night I dreamed I died an' went to heaven
To that Mighty Super Service in the sky
I was satisfied a-pumpin' gas forever
For the Angels in the sweet by and by.

Now the Pearly Gates was just around the corner
I could see the new ones comin' ev'ry day
An' I was changin' plugs on Moses' Magic Carpet
When up thru the clouds, there came this Model A.

CHORUS
