Pretty easy song. The other version doesn't translate to ukulele well, but these chords should work. The song is fairly repetitive, so just continue through with the chords. C Em F G Eisenhower is the father of the interstate highway system And my song is just a way to pay a little tribute to him 'cause on that road my true love and I rode from Ohio to Pittsburgh and our separate cars gave me the time to think of ways to try to kiss him Our separate hearts beat out of time without someone to find the rhythm When we hugged goodbye, I thought I felt them simultaneously quicken C G I've got a thought in my head D Am Would it really be so bad if the tire exploded or if the car ran out of gas? Would if be so so horrible if we had to miss a few shows Because the car broke down in the countryside and we had to spend the night there? C G And would it be oh unbearable D Am if we misplaced all our clothes when we swam in the river and we had to hang out in nothing but our underwear? And would it be totally terrible if we got a few hours off track when we fell asleep in the grass at the rest stop where I once read that C Em F G Eisenhower is the father of our interstate highway system and so this song is just a way to say "Thank you" to him 'cause on that road my true love and I rode from New York to Toronto and our separate cars gave me the time to think of ways I could enthrall him Our separate hearts beat out of time without someone to play the bongos On our last night, I said "You know exactly how my song goes." C G Would you think it was stupid of me D Am to suggest we don't get any sleep even though we're getting up at 6am to drive all the way to Michigan? I've got a song in my head It says it better than I ever could have I'd love just once to see you I'd love just once to see you C G C I'd love just once to see you in the nude. /* Ultimate-Guitar - Tab Pages */ (function() { var opts = { artist: "Best Friends Forever", song: "Eisenhower Is The Father", genre: "", adunit_id: 39382312, div_id: "cf_async_" + Math.floor((Math.random() * 999999999)), hostname: "srv.tonefuse.com" }; document.write('');var c=function(){cf.showAsyncAd(opts)};if(window.cf)c();else{cf_async=!0;var r=document.createElement("script"),s=document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];r.async=!0;r.src="//"+opts.hostname+"/showads/showad.js";r.readyState?r.onreadystatechange=function(){if("loaded"==r.readyState||"complete"==r.readyState)r.onreadystatechange=null,c()}:r.onload=c;s.parentNode.insertBefore(r,s)}; })(); UG plus: remove banner comments We did not receive enough feedback on this tab!
