Capo on 2.  This is a really folky arrangement and very easy to play.

C 
I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396 
       F 
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor 
      G 
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot 
            F            C    
Outside the Seven-Eleven store 
C 
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch 
       F 
And he rides with me from town to town 
        G 
We only run for the money, got no strings attached 
            F              C 
We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down 

C 
We take all the action we can meet 
       F 
And we cover all the northeast states 
         G 
When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street 
         F                 C       
From the fire roads to the interstate 

C         
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right 
        F 
I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat 
G 
Summer's here and the time is right 
    F             C 
For racin' in the street 

  C  
I met her on the strip three years ago 
     F 
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A. 
      G 
Well, I blew that Camaro off my back, 
    F                        C  
and I drove that little girl away, 
   
But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes 
        F 
And she cries herself to sleep at night 
    G  
She sits on the porch of her Daddy's house 
           F                     C 
She sighs, "Baby did you make it all right," 


C 
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right 
        F 
I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat 
G 
Summer's here and the time is right 
    F             C 
For racin' in the street 
 

C 
Some guys they just give up living 
                F          
And start dying little by little, piece by piece, 
     G 
Some guys get off work, go home and wash up, 
       F             C 
And go racin' in the street. 

C 
For all the shut down strangers and hot rod angels, 
F                
Rumbling through this promised land 
           G 
Tonight my baby and me, we're gonna ride to the sea 
    F                       C 
And wash these sins off our hands.
