Racing in the Street - Bruce Springsteen

| FF | Dm7Dm7 | C4 | Bb majorBb |

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

C7C7    FF
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
     Bb majorBb
I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat
G minorGm
Summer's here and the time is right
   Bb majorBb
For racin' in the street

  FF
We take all the action we can meet
    Bb majorBb
And we cover all the northeast state
      G minorGm
When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street
     Bb majorBb
From the fire roads to the interstate
   FF
Now some guys they just give up living
      Bb majorBb
And start dying little by little piece by piece
        G minorGm
Some guys come home from work and wash up
     Bb majorBb
Then go racin' in the street

C7C7   FF
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
     Bb majorBb
I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats
G minorGm
Calling out around the world
       Bb majorBb
We're going racin' in the street

(Break) | FF | Dm7Dm7 | C4 | Bb majorBb | FF | Dm7Dm7 | C4 | Bb majorBb |

    FF
I met her on the strip three years ago
   Bb majorBb
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
 G minorGm
I blew that Camaro off my back
   Bb majorBb
And drove that little girl away
     FF
But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
     Bb majorBb
And she cries herself to sleep at night
      G minorGm
When I come home the house is dark
      Bb majorBb
She sighs "Baby did you make it all right"
  FF
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
  Bb majorBb
But all her pretty dreams are torn
   G minorGm
She stares off alone into the night
     Bb majorBb
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
      FF
For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels
  Bb majorBb
Rumbling through this promised land
  G minorGm
Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
   Bb majorBb
And wash these sins off our hands

C7C7    FF
Tonight, tonight the highway's bright
   Bb majorBb
Out of our way mister you best keep
    G minorGm
'Cause summer's here and the time is right
       Bb majorBb
We're goin' racin' in the street
