🎸 Verse 1:
D MajorD
June had dark eyes
D MajorD C majorC
She was a maker of the rain
C majorC G+G
One side of her wild
G+G C majorC
The other still like the plains
C majorC D MajorD
She had smoke on her breath
D MajorD C majorC
And a light on her face
C majorC G+G
That said I don't want to be
G+G D MajorD
A augmentedA stone no more
D MajorD
Well the full moon was high
D MajorD C majorC
Hanging clear the air was sweet
C majorC G+G
And the road was full of promise
G+G C majorC
Like the wheels at her feet
C majorC D MajorD
So she stole that old Mustang
D MajorD C majorC
Took it round to her boyfriends
C majorC G+G
And said I know a place
G+G D MajorD
We can go
🎸 Pre-Chorus:
D MajorD A augmentedA
It's a long, long ride
A augmentedA C majorC
To the next town boy

If you want to start something new

Give me just a little
A augmentedA C majorC
And I'll give it back to you

🎸 Verse 2:
C majorC D MajorD
Well they drove all night
D MajorD C majorC
Into a pale pink dawn
C majorC G+G
Across the great salt plains
G+G C majorC
Through the eye of the storm
C majorC D MajorD
Across the rivers and the deserts
D MajorD C majorC
And the great divide
C majorC G+G
Fast as lightning
G+G D MajorD
On a midnight mile
D MajorD
And they snuck into the back streets
D MajorD C majorC
Of a backwater town
C majorC G+G
And they idled at the gas station
C majorC
Nobody round
C majorC D MajorD
But then a voice came loud
D MajorD C majorC
Saying hands in the air
C majorC G+G
Turn the engine off
G+G D MajorD
And step outside
🎸 Pre-Chorus:
D MajorD A augmentedA
It's a long, long ride
A augmentedA C majorC

And I'll give it back to you

🎸 Verse 3:
C majorC D MajorD
Well they raced through the night
D MajorD C majorC
June was mad as a loon
C majorC G+G
And she laughed like thunder
G+G C majorC
And she howled at the moon
C majorC D MajorD
They flew across the interstate
C majorC
Running from the law
C majorC G+G D MajorD
She said now I ain't a stone no more
D MajorD
And the road was black and slick
D MajorD C majorC
Like oil across the lake
C majorC G+G
And they overshot a corner
C majorC
Smashed right through the gate
C majorC D MajorD
And they leapt into the sky
D MajorD C majorC
And they floated off the ground
D MajorD G+G
And they steered towards the heavens
G+G C majorC
And they still ain't come back down
🎸 Chorus:
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC
Ooh, fire in the streets tonight

Ooh, fire in the streets tonight
