D5

                               C5
In summer '63 I was staying alive
E5                                D5 
hanging at the races, hoping to drive
                                                    C5
When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars
E5                    G5                     D5
I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar


                                C5
I'm up in the corner nursing a beer
E5                                      D5
who should come laughing and joking in here
                                               C5
but Bobby Brown, the winner of the sports car race
E5                             G5                   D5
with some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place


G5                    A5      D5
Bobby was a wild boy - one summer
   G5                    A5           D5
he knocked down a motel wall with a hammer
     G5                 A5           D5
He'd do anything - one night for a bet
   G5                      A5            D5   A5
he raced through the cornfields in a Corvette

                                             C5
I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that
         E5            G5                     D5
with the beautiful girl and be king of the track
                                       C5
But the truth is when all was said and done
           E5             G5                   D5    C5
it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
           E5             G5                   D5    C5   E5  G5
It was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
                  D5   C5  E5 G5
The car was the one  
                  D5   C5  E5 G5
The car was the one
