Hot Rod Race easy guitar chords by

N/A
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

and blew.

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

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!

  • 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.
