Racing in the Street - Bruce Springsteen Performed by serena Ryder Capo on the 6th fret D5 B5 C5 G5 D5 I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396 G5 Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor E5 She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot G5 Outside the Seven-Eleven store D5 Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch G5 And he rides with me from town to town E5 We only run for the money got no strings attached G5 We shut `em up and then we shut `em down D5 D5 Tonight, tonight the strip's just right G5 I wanna blow `em off in my first heat E5 Summer's here and the time is right G5 For racin' in the street D5 We take all the action we can meet G5 And we cover all the northeast state E5 When the strip shuts down we run `em in the street G5 From the fire roads to the interstate D5 Now some guys they just give up living G5 And start dying little by little piece by piece E5 Some guys come home from work and wash up G5 Then go racin' in the street D5 D5 Tonight, tonight the strip's just right G5 I wanna blow `em all out of their seats E5 Calling out around the world G5 We're going racin' in the street (Break) D5 B5 C5 G5 D5 B5 C5 G5 D5 I met her on the strip three years ago G5 In a Camaro with this dude from L.A. E5 I blew that Camaro off my back G5 And drove that little girl away D5 But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes G5 And she cries herself to sleep at night E5 When I come home the house is dark G5 She sighs "Baby did you make it all right" D5 She sits on the porch of her daddy's house G5 But all her pretty dreams are torn E5 She stares off alone into the night G5 With the eyes of one who hates for just being born D5 For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels G5 Rumbling through this promised land E5 Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea G5 And wash these sins off our hands D5 D5 Tonight, tonight the highway's bright G5 Out of our way mister you best keep E5 `Cause summer's here and the time is right G5 We're goin' racin' in the street D5 B5 E5 G5 (to fade out)
