Lyrics
Description
Tempo: 108 BPM (driving, 100–120 range)
Intro: [G D Em C] x2
Guitar Riff (crunchy electric, slide fills between lines)
[Verse 1] (G D Em C)
[G]Down by the river when the sun [D]stains the dawn,
[Em]Peter's patching the skiff where the [C]seal's been torn.
[G]Rod in his callous hand, line sings a [D]silver dart,
[Em]Fixing little leaks with a [C]big old heart.
(Guitar Riff)
[Chorus 1] (C G D G) — 3-part harmony on the stacked lines
[C]Peter Smart don't buy what he can [G]build,
[D]Turns wrenches, rides engines, chasin' [G]thrills.
[C]From the pool-hall lights to the open [G]road,
[D]He mends the broken, carries another [G]load.
[C]Grease on his hands, but gold in his [G]heart—
[D]Built not bought, that's the [G]Peter Smart.
(Short Guitar Riff / Slide lick)
[Verse 2] (G D Em C)
[G]Corner pocket hush under neon [D]glow,
[Em]'68 Mustang purring, tuned slow to [C]go.
[G]He tunes the carb till it hums like [D]church bells,
[Em]Polishes old scars till the shine for[C]gives the hells.
(Guitar Riff)
[Chorus 2] (C G D G) — 3-part harmony; add melodic counterline
[C]Peter Smart don't buy what he can [G]build,
[D]Takes busted dreams and fits 'em to a [G]will.
[C]From pool cues to pistons, the highway's a [G]part,
[D]He carries the map and he reads it by [G]heart.
(Counterline: a higher harmony echoes "Built not bought")
[C]Grease-stained sleeves, steady-willed [G]hands—
[D]He makes a living out of mending [G]plans.
[Pre-Chorus] (Em C G D)
[Em]Some nights the radio hums and the [C]worklight's low,
[G]He remembers a lesson from the [D]man he knows.
[Bridge] (Em C G D)
[Em]Late-night, one coffee, one bedside lamp,
[C]A spark, a sigh, an engine's cranked-up camp.
[G]He learned from his pa with burned knuckles and [D]pride,
[Em]“Fix the thing that breaks and you'll never be [C]denied.”
[G]There's cost in the quiet, there's weight in the [D]hours—
[Em]But grace in the grease and the small earned [C]powers.
(Quiet Guitar Fill — fingerpicked, slide steel taste)
[Guitar Solo] (over Chorus changes: C–G–D–G) 8 bars
Crunchy lead with slide accents; let the riff return between lines.
[Final Chorus - Part A Acoustic] (C G D G) — stripped 4 bars
[C]Peter Smart don't buy what he can [G]build,
[D]He lifts the fallen with a steady [G]will.
[C]Out on the road or beneath the flood-[G]light start,
[D]He keeps on turning, keeps on doing his [G]part.
[Final Chorus - Part B Full Band, triumphant] (C G D G) — full 3-part harmony soars
[C]Built not bought, with hands that heal and [G]heart that won't depart—
[D]That’s the legend, that’s the [G]Peter Smart.
[C]Grease on his sleeves, sun on his [G]face,
[D]He fixes the world in his own small [G]ways.
[C]Name on his coveralls, truth in his [G]art—
[D]Forever they'll remember [G]Peter Smart.
[Outro] (G D Em C) — wind-down to riff
[G]Down by the river, when the daylight [D]fades,
[Em]He closes the hood, wipes the [C]shades.
[G]A whistle, a nod, then the truck slow[D]ly starts—
[Em]Built from the ground up, that's [C]P
