I just changed the D in the chorus bit to a Dm, because it just
didn't quite sound right. Other than that, all credit goes to the
original transcribers. The only other thing I will add is that I
find it much easier to play open chords for the Dm and C. If you
can do the quick transition on the bar chords for that part, go
ahead. Definitely play bar chords for the chorus.


Verse:
-----
<Dm C...>
She stands there on the corner
decked out in raspberry jeans
waiting and watching and oh here he comes
he pulls up beside here in a sporty machine
rolls down his window
and hands her a bag of plums

<Dm C...>
Plums? Eat them he tells here
they make you feel great
So she hops in the car he steps on the gas
she says can't you drive faster
it's getting late
just a wee bit faster
you're not going to fast


Chorus:
------
<Dm C...>
Freeway riding down the freeway
cruisin' they are really cruisin'
         Bb  C      F   A
when the plums take affect
    Bb      C                F    A
the plums suddenly juice her mind
           Bb   C            Dm
she is no longer a nervous wreck
Bb        C          F              A
now her nerves are blind she feels fine

<Dm C...>
Oh I feel great she says
but he already knows it
cause she's fingering his hair
and biting his toe
she's really plumbed out
and in her eyes she shows it
she says what's the hurry? Drive more slow

<Dm C...>
Moisture drips from her edible lips
he looks into her eyes and he's
quick to relize
that he'd better pull over
before he gets to Dover
cause if he really wants her
now the time is wise

<Dm C...>
Freeway riding down the freeway
cruisin' they are really cruisin'
         Bb  C      F   A
when the plums take affect
    Bb      C                F    A
the plums suddenly juice her mind
           Bb   C            Dm
she is no longer a nervous wreck
Bb        C          F              A
now her nerves are blind she feels fine

<Dm C....>
She's plum dumb
plum dumb
plum it plum it plum it plum it plum it

Dm
yeah!
