Eric Church – Talladega (Guitar)

            F                C
It was the summer before the real world started and,

   Am         G         
The deal was we would get to go, if we

F             C
Cleaned it up, and got it running,

  Am            G
Daddy's old Winnebago.

 F                  C
Wing and a prayer down 65,

 Am                    G
Five best friends on four bald tires,

        F              C
I can still see Billy smiling

                 G
When we finally made it.

        F         C
To Talladega, boys raised up,

 Am              G
Whiskey in your glass, 

          F            C
here's to turning up, slowing down 

    Am               G
and cars that go real fast,

         F                   C
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing,

     Am               G                  F
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,

                   G                
Sure would like to stay in, 

        F C Am G
Talladega.

F              C
Like a storm, time rolls on,

      Am              G   
You can't hit pause as we just did.

F                 C
Most days in life don't stand out,

      Am               G
But life's about those days that will, like,

F             C 
Rocking rando, getting rowdy,

Am              G              F
Shooting roman candles at the man in the moon,

           C             G    
til the Alabama sun was breaking.

         F         C
Over Talladega, boys raised up,

 Am              G
Whiskey in your glass, 

          F            C
here's to turning up, slowing down 

    Am               G
and cars that go real fast,

         F                   C
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing,

     Am               G                  F
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,

                   G                
Sure would like to stay in, 

        F C Am G
Talladega.

    F                                  
When the winds go cold and it blows October,

    F                            
I think about us shoulder to shoulder,

   F                                       
Like those cars my thoughts roll over and over and over,

         G
In my mind

                    F         C
Tonight i'm in Talladega, boys raised up,

 Am              G
Whiskey in your glass, 

          F            C
here's to turning up, slowing down 

    Am               G
and cars that go real fast,

         F                   C
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing,

     Am               G                  F
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,

                   G                
Sure would like to stay in, 

        F C Am G
Talladega.
