Standard (EADGBE)

The big line moved one mile an hour, so loud it really hurt

The big line moved so loud it really hurt

Back in '55 we were makin' thunderbirds

We filled conveyors, we met production ,Foremen didn't waste words

We met production ,Foremen didn't waste words

We were young and proud we were makin' thunderbirds

Well ..we were makin' thunderbirds we were makin' thunderbirds

They were long and low and sleek and fast they were all you ever heard

Back in '55 we were makin' thunderbirds

(same chords and timing)

Now the years have flown and the plants have changed you're lucky if you work

The big line moves but you're lucky if you work

Back in '55 we were makin' thunderbirds

Well

we were makin' thunderbirds ,we were makin' thunderbirds

They were long and low and sleek and fast they were classic in a word

Back in '55 we were makin' thunderbirds

We were young and proud makin' thunderbirds

We were young and sure and we were makin' thunderbirds
