Emmylou Harris – Racing In The Street (Guitar)

C
I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396

       F
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor

Dm
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot

            F
Outside the Seven-Eleven store

          C
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch

       F
And he rides with me from town to town

        Dm
We only run for the money got no strings attached

            F
We shut `em up and then we shut `em down

  C
Tonight tonight the strip's just right

          F
I'm gonna blow `em off in my first heat

Dm
Summer's here and the time is right

      F                   C
For racin' in the street

C
We take all the action we can meet

       F
And we cover all the northeast states

         Dm
When the strip shuts down we run `em in the street

         F
>From the fire roads to the interstate

     C
Now Some guys they just give up living

                F
And start dying little by little piece by piece

          Dm
Some guys come home from work and wash up

        F
And  go racin' in the street

C
Tonight tonight the strip's just right

          F
I'm gonna blow `em all out of their seats

Dm
Calling out around the world

            F
We're going racin' in the street

C
He met her on the strip three years ago

     F
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.

   Dm                                   F
He blew that Camaro off his back and he drove that little girl away

                C
But now there's wrinkles around his baby's eyes

        F
And she cries herself to sleep at night

     Dm
When he comes home the house is dark

         F
She says Baby  make it all right

    C
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house

    F
But all her pretty dreams are torn

    Dm
She stares out alone into the night

                 F
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born

            C
For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels

F
Rumbling through this promised land

Dm
Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea

    F
And wash these sins off our hands

 C
Tonight tonight the highway's bright

           F
Out of our way mister you best keep

      Dm
Cause summer's here and the time is right

    F                      C   Bb    C    Bb  F   C
For racin' in the street
