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)
