[F#m]
[F#]
I was cruising in my stingray late one night, [B] when a Tex K.E. pulled up on the right.
[F#] He rolled down the window of his shiny new [C#] Jags, and tellin' me that I'm there to attract.
[F#] I said, you're on buddy, my mail's running fine, [B] said, I'm off the line, now it's not sittin' fine.
[F#] But I'll go you one better if you've got the nerve, [G#m] left face all the [C#] way, to get [F#] mad.
[D#m]
[B] The [C#] [D] [Bm] [C#]
[F#] screen was deserted both Friday nights, [B] we were buggin' each other while we sat out the lights.
[F#] We both popped the clutch when the light turned green, [C#] you shoulda heard the whine from my screamin' machine.
[F#] I flew past the braille-swapped and crescent pipes, [B] and all the Jags you see were my six-tailed wives.
[F#] He passed me at Donini, then I started to swerve, but [G#m] I pulled her out, there [C#] we were.
At Dead [F#] Man's Pit.
[A]
[D] Well, the last thing I remember, Doc, I started [Bm] to swerve, and then I saw the Jag slide into the [G] curve.
I know I'll never forget that horrible sight.
[C] I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right.
[C#m] [D] Won't come [Bm] back from Dead [C#]
Man's Pit.
