Start Me Up Lyrics

If you want the original sound, play on a 5 strings open G tuned guitar, with capo on 3rd fret (it gives you an open Bb).
Then play like that:
And repeat all way down.
C/F Bb/Eb (2 times)
If you start me up, if you start me up I'll never stop.
If you start me up, if you start me up I'll never stop.
I've been running hot, you got me rifting, gonna blow my top.
You can start me up, you can start me up, I'll never stop, never stop, never stop, never stop.
You make a grown man cry, (3 times)
Spread out the oil, the gasoline,
I walk smooth ride in mean, mean machine.
You can start me up, kick on the starter, give it all you've got. (you got, you got)
I can't compete with the riders in the other heats.
You rough it up, if you like it you can slide it up,
Slide it up, slide it up, slide it up.
Don't make a grown man cry, (3 times)
My eyes dilate, my lips go green,
My hands are greasy, she's a mean, mean machine.
Start me up. Ah----------- you've got to, you've got to, never, never, never stop.
Start me up. Ah----------- Start it up.
(Never, never.)
You make a grown man cry, (3 times)
Ride like the wind, at double speed,
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen.
Ending
If you start it up, love the day when we will never stop, never stop, never, never, never stop.
Tough me up, ------------------------------- never, never stop.
You, you, you make a grown man cry.
You, you, you make a dead man come.
You, you, you make a dead man come.
Start me up.
