Hot Rod Race chords by

Verse 1
G
C

Now me
G
D

G

and my

wife and my brother Joe

Took off in my Ford from San Pedro

We hadn't much gas and

the tires was low
D

But the dog gone Ford couldn't really go
G

Now along about the middle of the night

We were ripping along like

white folks might

When the Mercury behind,

he blinked his lights,
D

he honked his horn,
G

and he flew out of sight.

We had twin pots in the Columbia,

but you people may think that I'm in a rut.

But to you folks who don't think to jive,

D

that's two carburetors and an overdrive.
G

We made grease spots out of many a good town,


and left the cops' heads spinning

round and round.

They wouldn't chase,
D

they'd run and hide,

but me and that Mercury stayed
G

side by side.

Now we were Ford men,

and we likely knew that we would race

until something blew,
D

and we thought it over and I wouldn't you
G

I look down at my lovely bride

her face was blue

I thought she had died
D

we left streaks through towns

about 40 feet wide but me and that
G
C

Mercury stayed side -by -side
G
D

G


my brother was pale

he said he was sick

he said it was just a nervous wreck

but

Why should I worry for
D

what the heck?

Me and that murky was
G

still neck and neck

Now on through the desert we did glide

A -flyin' low and a -flyin' wide

Me and that murky was takin' a ride
D
G

And we stayed exactly side to side
C
G

D
G


I looked in my mirror and I saw somethin'

comin'

I thought it was a plane by

the way it was a -runnin'

It was a -hummin' along

at a terrible pace
D

And I knew right then it was
G

the end of the race

When it flew by us I turned the other way

The guy in the Mercury had nothin' to say

For it was a kid in a hopped
D
G

  • 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.
