It seems like all the world is fighting

They're even talking of a war (ooo ooo ooo)

Let all the Russians and the Chinese
Bb
And the Spanish do their fighting
D7
The sun is shining
G D G D
We're going drivin', drivin'
F Bb
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 Bb
The sandwiches are packed
E A
The tea is in the flask
Eb Ab
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
Bb F F7
We'll have a picnic on the grass (ooo ooo ooo)
F7
Forget your nephews and your cousins
Bb
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 Bb
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
F Bb
We'll talk to the cows
E A
And laugh at the sheep
D G
We'll lie in a field
C# F#
And we'll have a sleep
C# F#
So take a drive with me
Cm Gm
And all the troubled world around us
Bb F F7
Seems an eternity away (ooo ooo ooo)
F
And all the debt collectors, rent collectors
Bb
All will be behind us
D7
But they'll never find us
G D G D G D G D
'Cos we'll be drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin'
