[Verse 1]
A5                 G5
Down in Motor City I come from
    D5                      A5
For people like their music loud
                        G5
Motown was built on the east side
  D5                      A5
Detroit is the name of my town
                             G5
Factory-workers, hippies and crew-cuts
D5                           A5
Jumping up and down in their seats
                             G5
In the daytime it sure looks different
       D5                            A5
But at night it's just a rock-n-roll beat

[Chorus]
A5              G5
So rev my engine
D5         A5
Shine my machine
                 G5
Drive me-pet me, baby
A5
Fill me with Slo-Gin

[Verse 2]
A5                         G5
Soul-brother likes his old Motown
    D5                     A5
The greaser still likes to jive
                             G5
You can't knock a rocker for rockin'
          D5               A5
It's what keeps this city alive

[Chorus]
A5              G5
So rev my engine
D5         A5
Shine my machine
                 G5
Drive me-pet me, baby
A5
Fill me with Slo-Gin

The greaser still likes to jive
                             G5
You can't knock a rocker for rockin'
          D5               A5
It's what keeps this city alive

[Chorus]
A5              G5
So rev my engine
D5         A5
Shine my machine
                 G5
Drive me-pet me, baby
A5
Fill me with Slo-Gin
