Verse 1
(D major) (B minor) (D major) Now (G major) me
(D major) and (G major) my
wife (B minor) and brother Joe
Took off (G major) in a (D major) Ford (A major) from San (G major) Pedro
Didn't have (D major) much (G major) gas
(B minor) and the tires were low
But the (D major) doggone (B minor) Ford (D major) could (A major) really (G major) go
Along (B minor) about the middle of the night
We was (D major) ripping along like (A major)
poor folk (G major) s might
When a Mercury (D major) be hind (G major)
he (B minor) blinked his light
He (D major) honked his horn and it (A major) flew out
(G major) of sight (D major) (G major) (B minor)
(D major) (G major) (D major) (B minor)
We had (G major) twin pots (B minor) and a Columbia butt
You people (G major) (B minor) may think that I'm (A major) in a rut
(G major) But to you (D major) folks that (B minor) don't dig the jive
That's (D major) two carburetors and an overdrive
We made three spots
(B minor) out of many a town
An (G major) d left (D major) the cops spin (A major) ning
round (G major) an d round
They would (D major) n't chase,
(B minor) they'd run and hide
But (D major) me and that Mercury stayed (A major)
side (G major) to side (A major) (G major) (D major)
(A major) (B minor)
(D major) I (G major) looked at my bride, (B minor) her face was blue
I was stuck to the (D major) throttle
(B minor) just like (A major) it was glue
(D major) We left streaks through towns
about (B minor) forty feet wide
But (G major) me and (B minor) that (D major) Mercury
stayed side (A major) to side
(G major) My (D major) (G major) brother was (B minor) pale,
he said he was thick
He (G major) said he (D major) was just a
(B minor) nervous (A major) wreck (G major)
But (B minor) why should I worry,
for what the heck
Me (D major) and that (B minor) Mer cury (G major) was neck and
neck (B minor) (D major) (B minor) (D major) (G major) (D major) (B minor)
Now on (G major) through the deser
(B minor) t we did glide
A (D major) -flyin' low and a (A major) -fly (G major) in' wide
And me and (B minor) that Mercury
was takin' a ride
We (D major) stayed exactly side (G major) to side
I (D major) looked in my (B minor) mirror and
saw somethin' comin'
I (G major) thought it (D major) was a plane,
the (A major) way it (G major) was a (D major) -hummin'
Runnin' along (B minor) at a terrible pace
I (D major) knew right then it was
(A major) the end of (D major) the race
When it flew by us (B minor) I
turned the other way
The (D major) guy (B minor) in the (D major) Mercury
had (B minor) nothin' (D major) to say
And I could see it (B minor) was a streak of gray
Was a (D major) kid in a hopped -up Model (D major) A you
