Hot Rod Race chords by Tiny Hill
Verse 1
F#
Now me and my wife, my brother Joe,
took off in a Ford from Kokomo.
We hadn't much gas and the
G
tires were low,
F#
but that dog gone Ford
F#
could really go.
How long about the middle of the night,
when we're rippin' along
F#
like rich folks might,
when a Mercury behind me
C#
flanked his lights, honked his horn,
and he pulled out of sight?
We had quint parts of that
F#
plundered bus.
People might think that I'm in a rut,
F#
but you folks that don't
dig this kind of jive,
F#
it's two carburetors and an overdrive.
We made B -spots out of many a town,
let the cops' heads spin
around and around.
They wouldn't chase,
they'd run and hide,
F#
me and that Murphy stayed side by side.
G
Now we're Ford men
and we likely knew
that we'd keep on a
race until something blew.
F#
At foot feet down, like a stuck with glue,
G
D
G
through many a town we flew
F#
G
C
G
and blew.

F#
G
I looked down at my lovely bride,
her face was blue,
and I thought she'd died.
Them streets through town
were 40 feet wide,
D
but me and that Mercury
G
stayed side by side.
My brother was pale, said he was sick,
he said he was just a nervous wreck,
but why should I worry,
but what the heck?
D
G
Me and that murky was neck and neck.
Now on through the night,
we would glide, or fly low, or fly wide.
Me and that murky was taking a ride.
D
G

G
C
G
D
G
We stayed exactly side to side.
I looked in the mirror
and I saw something coming,
I thought it was a plane,
the way it was humming,
D
G
it was humming along at a terrible pace,
D
and I knew right then it was
G
the end of the race.
When it flew by, turned the other way,
the guy in a Mercury had nothing to say,
but just Just a kid just out to play,
D
driving a hopped -up hot leg!
