Youtube of the song:

My first tab here, excellent song and quite surprised no one better tabbed it yet, anyway.

Main Rift
start 4 bars:

||-------4-1------|

Goldie slick, excellent voice:
He's just an American boy & he loves his machine. No back-talk from a
machine. When was the last time a television set--gave you shit about who
you met last night? No back-talk machine. If your motor doesn't turn over
smooth for you, you don't feed it right.
Give it a little grease--give it a little gas, drive
straight on through the night

Middle secion:
B flat      A flat   F

Man-made
mechanical mover--love your machine.

Have some A major 7ths and 9ths during vocal before entering main rift again

You say
nothing's right but natural things--
you fool.
Poison oak is a natural plant why don't you
put some in your food.
I don't care if there's chemicals in it
s long as my lettuce is crisp!
Preservatives might just be preserving you,
I think that's something you missed!
Ya you missed it.

B flat      A flat   F

Man-made mechanical mover, I love his machine.

Solo: (hope this is right)

etcetera, i prefer just to do my own thing on f minor pentatonic, just remember to use 
of wah,

He's just an american boy & I love his machine.
Smooth moving steel.
Keep your engine warm & wet
be friendly to your steel.
Feed it right, your mechanical pet
then get behind the wheel.
Put a little statch in the old corvette
then give it a feel.
Smooth moving steel--give it a feel
man-made mechanical mover--it'll move faster than
you can--vegetable lover.

End solo pretty much the same
