E

Am

Let me tell you about my new steam. for comfort,

just my speed.

A

Ford

Mustang
E

modified to set the pace.
Am

Man, I could hardly wait
B
E

to get out and race.
Em

It's got a 289 motor
Am

with a special cobra kit.

There ain't nothing on the

road that can even touch it.
Em
E

It's got
Em

carburetors and it uses them all with a four
Am
Em
E

-speed stick that just won't stall.

With that transistor ignition and power pipe exhaust,
Am

this is a machine that'll

really get lost.
Em

Everything built to make it perform.
E
Em
Am

It may not be hot, but it sure
Em
E

is warm.

G
G5

We took delivery at the factory
Gm

late one night.
C

It was purring like a kitten and

moving just right.
G
G5

We pulled up on the freeway like it was going
Gm
C

downhill and started passing the
D
Am
Gm
G5
G

sleds like they were standing still.
Am

Then all of a sudden,

before I could bat an eye,

a
Dm
D

Cadillac sedan passed me by.

Somebody said,
Am

like, that's the wheels for me.

But by then, the taillights was all
D
Am
Em
C
E

I could see.
B
Em

Well, these cats ribbed
E

me for being behind,
Em
Am

so I started to make that

Mustang unwind.
Em

Pushed the foot feed clear to the floor,

E

said, that's all there is,
Em
Am
A
Am
E
Am
Em

there ain't no more.
E

Smoke was rolling out of the back
Am

when I started to gain on that

Cadillac.
Em

I was sure I could catch him and I hoped I could pass,
Am
Em
E

but by then I knew I'd be short on gas.

We went around a curve and passed a truck. I pulled
Em
Am

out my rabbit's foot just for luck.

The fenders just missed a guardrail post.
E

The guy in the back was white
Am
E

as a coat.
Gm

I glanced over to check

on the other side.
C

Her face was blue and I thought she died,
Gm

but I wasn't worried be cause what the heck,

by now me and that caddy was
C
D
G
G5
G

neck and neck.
Am

I guess they thought I'd lost my sense,
D

the telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
Am

They said, slow down, I see spots.

The lines in the road look just
D
Em
E
B

like dots.
E

Went around a corner with the tires

on the side.
Am

You could feel the tension.

Man, what a ride.
E

I said, hold on, I got a license to fly.

And that
Am

Cadillac faded back and let
B
E
Am
E
Em

me by.

Then I looked in the mirror and saw

something coming.
E
Am

I thought it was a plane,

by the way it was numbered.
E
Em
E

I'd been caught by a helicopter in the

CHP.
Am
E

That was it, gang, the end of me.

Well, they busted me

and threw me in the can,
A

so there was nothing I could

do but call the old man.
Am
E

He said, whale in jail,

cause I won't bail.
A
B

Dang me, he told me not
E

to hop up that
A
B
E
A
B

Mustang.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
