Dead Mans Curve chords
Jan and Dean 1964

Capo II

E MajorE 3x

   E MajorE
I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night,
    A augmentedA
when an XKE pulled up on the right.
  E MajorE
And rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag,
  F# minorF#m
and challenged me then and there to a drag.
 E MajorE
I said, "you're on, buddy, my mill's runnin' fine,
   A augmentedA
let's come off the line, now, at Sunset and Vine.
     E MajorE
But I'll go you one better if you've got the nerve.
   F# minorF#m        A augmentedA
Let's race all the way,

to Dead Man's

E MajorE
Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play
C# minorC#m
Dead Man's Curve, you must keep away
A augmentedA
Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say:
 E7E7  E MajorE  C majorC     A minorAm     E7E7
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"

  E MajorE
The street was deserted late Friday night,
    A augmentedA
we were buggin' each other while we sat out the light.
  E MajorE
We both popped the clutch when the light turned green,
  F# minorF#m
you shoulda heard the whine from my screamin' machine.
 E MajorE
I flew past LaBrea, Schwab's, and Crescent Heights,
  A augmentedA
and all the Jag could see were my six tail lights.
  E MajorE
He passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve,
   F# minorF#m
but I pulled her out and there we were,
  A augmentedA
at Dead Man's

E MajorE
Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play

G+G
Dead Man's Curve, you must keep away

      C majorC
Well - the last thing I remember, Doc, I started to swerve.
  A minorAm
And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve.
 FF
I know I'll never forget that horrible sight.
 Bb majorBb
I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right.

 E7E7  E MajorE  C majorC     A minorAm     E7E7
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"

E MajorE
Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play
C# minorC#m
Dead Man's Curve, you must keep away
A augmentedA
Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say:
 E7E7  E MajorE  C majorC     A minorAm     E7E7
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve" 3x
