Racing in the Street - Bruce Springsteen Performed by serena Ryder Capo on the 6th fret | D | Bm7 | C | G | D I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396 G Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor Em She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot G Outside the Seven-Eleven store D Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch G And he rides with me from town to town Em We only run for the money got no strings attached G We shut `em up and then we shut `em down D D Tonight, tonight the strip's just right G I wanna blow `em off in my first heat Em Summer's here and the time is right G For racin' in the street D We take all the action we can meet G And we cover all the northeast state Em When the strip shuts down we run `em in the street G From the fire roads to the interstate D Now some guys they just give up living G And start dying little by little piece by piece Em Some guys come home from work and wash up G Then go racin' in the street D D Tonight, tonight the strip's just right G I wanna blow `em all out of their seats Em Calling out around the world G We're going racin' in the street (Break) | D | Bm7 | C | G | D | Bm7 | C | G | D I met her on the strip three years ago G In a Camaro with this dude from L.A. Em I blew that Camaro off my back G And drove that little girl away D But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes G And she cries herself to sleep at night Em When I come home the house is dark G She sighs "Baby did you make it all right" D She sits on the porch of her daddy's house G But all her pretty dreams are torn Em She stares off alone into the night G With the eyes of one who hates for just being born D For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels G Rumbling through this promised land Em Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea G And wash these sins off our hands D D Tonight, tonight the highway's bright G Out of our way mister you best keep Em `Cause summer's here and the time is right G We're goin' racin' in the street | D | Bm7 | Em | G | (to fade out)
