Вступление
[Verse 1]
C F C
The summer sun was beating down, no pity would it show.
C G
George Chesters office air conditioner would no longer go.
C F C
As pools of sweat rolled off his brow he had one reverie.
C G C
He saw himself with his wife and kids in his cottage by the sea.
[Verse 2]
C F C
He paid for his car at the parking lot which gave the poor man chills.
C G
The attendant laughed and walked away thumbing a roll of bills.
C F C
He started the engine with trembling hands at the end of a long, hard day.
C G C
And placing himself in the hands of God he drove to the long freeway.
[Verse 3]
C F C
The traffic stretched far as the eye could see as bumper to bumper they sped.
C G
They drove at supernatural speed, which filled his heart with dread.
C F C
Sometimes they stopped for an hour or more and a thousand horns would blow.
C G C
George Chester's eyes rolled back in his head and his poor brain started to go.
[Verse 4]
C F C
He came at last to the turnpike gate and he laid his money down.
C G
He took the first turn to the right and he followed the curve around.
C F C
He took each bend of the cloverleaf, he followed every sign.
C G C
And when he came back to the same tollgate, he gave them another dime.
[Verse 5]
C F C
His hands were tight on the steering wheel, his lips and throat were dry.
C G
He swore by all that he held dear he'd make it through or die.
C F C
He took the first turn to the right the cloverleaf to go through.
C G C
He was quite sure of his success 'til the tollgate hove in view.
[Verse 6]
C F C
And now they say when the Moon is full and the cloverleaf is still,
C G C
The sound of an engine can be heard labouring up the hill.
C F C
A dime drops in the toll machine in the cool of a summer's night,
C G C
And eternally that poor car takes the first turn to the right.
(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1965)
