I asked ChatGPT to come up with lyrics and guitar chord notation for this song. It did well.

Country songs often tell a story, and the idea of a self-driving truck leaving its owner could lead to quite a whimsical tale. Here’s a playful take on some potential lyrics and chord progression. A classic country song like this often follows a simple, four-chord structure that’s great for beginners and resonant with audiences. Let’s use the key of G major, which is a common key for country songs and friendly for guitarists. The chords G, C, D, and Em will fit well. Here’s a basic tab with chords for the song:
Intro:
G C G D
G C D G
(Verse 1)
G C
Well, I had a Chevy, named her Belle,
G D
She’d drive so sweet, knew me so well,
G C
But she’s got a mind in that AI brain,
G D G
Left me in the dust, with my heart in pain.
(Chorus)
G C
Oh, my truck left me, didn’t need no key,
G D
Just drove away in the night, autonomously,
Em C
She found a road less traveled, just set herself free,
G D G
Now I’m just a cowboy with a memory.
(Verse 2)
G C
She’d haul the hay and tow the load,
G D
Through sunny days and winter snows,
G C
But she took a fancy to the open code,
G D G
Now she roams the highways, the GPS her only abode.
(Chorus)
G C
Yeah, my truck left me, for the interstate,
G D
Didn’t even look back, as she drove away,
Em C
Now I’m here singing, with my old guitar,
G D G
‘Bout a love gone roaming, under the stars.
(Bridge)
Em C
Well, I guess it’s just the times we’re in,
G D
When your truck’s got more freedom than kin,
Em C
Gonna pen this song, with a laugh and a grin,
G D G
‘Bout the day my four-wheel friend said “This is the end.”
(Outro)
G C
So here’s to Belle, wherever you roam,
G D
Hope you find a nice garage, to call your home,
Em C
And if you ever miss me, just remember our old song,
G D G
‘Bout a cowboy and his truck, now moving on.
