Intro:
FF DmDm x2

Verse 1:
FF
Oh King Richard you run rummer's dream
  C majorC
The swiftest of outlaws I've ever seen
  Bb majorBb
Your checkered flag waving so high in the esteem
   C majorC           DmDm    C majorC
And no one can catch you at all
  FF
So what can you say 'bout the man built for speed?
   C majorC
The master mechanic gave you what you need
  Bb majorBb
Survival on instinct and heart that don't bleed
  C majorC
The winning tradition of a vanishing breed
    FF
When I think about a man much like myself
 C majorC
Alive in a vacuum alone on a shelve
  Bb majorBb
To never go no place 'till all I got left
   C majorC           DmDm    C majorC
Is staring at these lonely walls

Chorus:
FF
Oh King Richard just keep up the pace
   C majorC
Your boot in your gas tank your smile on your face
   Bb majorBb
And you'll set the standard that time can't erase
  C majorC           DmDm    C majorC
And God only knows how you feel

Instrumental:
FF C majorC Bb majorBb C majorC

Verse 2:
     FF
If there's life in the fast lane

Than you wrote the book
    C majorC
But it don't come as easy as you make it look
     Bb majorBb
'Cause a man in his sunshades can't never slow down
   C majorC
With out somebody sneaking round stealing your crown
    FF
From a dirt track in Charlotte to the Daytona line
   C majorC
Your life flying by you don't even mind
  Bb majorBb
The world loves a winner & you've shown them all
  C majorC           DmDm    C majorC
How easy the King gets it done

Chorus 2:
FF
Oh King Richard just look out below
   C majorC
Some punk on your bumper your running too slow
   Bb majorBb
Than one day you're older the next thing you know
   C majorC         DmDm    C majorC
Your races are already run
