18 Nov 06 - 09:08 AM (#1887596) Subject: Lyr Add: MGB-GT (Richard Thompson) From: RTim I just googled it and came up with this - Tim Radford MGB-GT Written by Richard Thompson Appears on Mirror Blue (1994) Live At Crawley 1993 (1995) two letter words: live 1994 (1996) Oh I've got a little car and she might go far She's the mistress of my heart now She's a '65 with an overdrive And I fixed her in every part now Two in the front and two in the back 110 on the old Hog's Back My MGB-GT, she's a runner now MGB-GT Oh my MGB-GT, she's a runner now Oh I welded the sills and the old floor pan Cut the rust with the torch and the hacksaw Took the Rostyles off, put the spoked wheels on Got a brand new Salisbury axle When I come to town the girls all smile They say "Here's the man with the retro style" My MGB-GT, she's a runner now MGB-GT Oh my MGB-GT, she's a runner now Lockheed discs and twin SUs Original chrome on the grille now She looks like a dream in her racing green Competition's standing still now I sprayed up her body, I strengthened the frame I stripped her right down and I built her up again Now an Alpine's fine if you've got the time And a Healey'll set you back some And a TR4 costs a little bit more But it don't have the same attraction Hard top handy, in case of the weather I don't care if it rains forever In my MGB-GT, she's a runner now MGB-GT In my MGB-GT, she's a runner now MGB-GT In my MGB-GT, she's a runner now |

A search there will get you to MGB-GT Mick |

Folks with info on that song are unlikely to find your request in this thread. And please post the lyrics while you're at it - it sounds interesting! Cheers, Michael |

There is no need to start a new thread; words are already in the DT and have been posted in the Forum, with suggested guitar chords at Chord Req: Skyscraper wean(jeely peice)song in the past. |
