[F] [Bb] [C] [F]
[C] Fireball, [F] Fireball, the [C] greatest racing [F] driver of them all.
Oh, [C] I watched his rise [F] to fame.
In [Bb] the record books [C] you'll find [F] Fireball's name.
When I was just a little boy, [Bb]
about six years old,
[C] I followed after this man wherever he would [F] go.
On the weekends he'd take me to the [Bb] garage.
It wasn't very far, [C] and I'd watch for hours at a time him build his first [F] race car.
Then came that heavy day, [Bb] and the crew rolled her out.
[C] They knew this car was special and would long be [F] talked about.
As for me, I noticed the colors [Bb] and the shining white and blue.
[C] And on the sides of both the doors, that famous [F] 22.
Now through the next few years or so, [Bb] experience he gained.
[C] He won his share of races, and acquired his [F] nickname.
Fireball, they called him.
[Bb] People knew him near and far.
[C] Racetracks all over the world had heard about that [F] car.
[C] Fireball, [F]
Fireball, the [C] greatest racing driver [F] of them all.
[C] Oh, I watched his [F] rise to fame.
[Bb] In the record books [C] you'll find [F] Fireball's name.
Then come a telegram one day, [Bb] and a smile come across his face.
[C] He had been invited to the Big 500 [F] race.
The problem was to qualify, [Bb] and that he had done with ease.
[C] He won the pole position, and should win the race [F] with ease.
As the race got started, Fireball, [Bb] he pushed it down to the floor.
[C] They headed for the first turn, I guess 30 cars [F] or more.
As they thinned out on the back stretch, [Bb] Fireball set a blistering pace.
[C] He broke the track record on the first 20 laps [F] of the race.
Then something dreadful happened.
[Bb] A driver broke under the strain.
[C] And Fireball swirled and hit the wall, and his car burst [F] into flames.
Well, I've practiced hard now for the last few years, [Bb] and the 500, I just won.
And I won it for a real brave man, that racing [F] son of a gun.
[C] Fireball, [F]
Fireball, the [C] greatest racing driver [F] of them all.
[C] Oh, I watched his [F] rise to fame.
[Bb] In the record [C] books you'll find [F] Fireball's name.
[Bb] [C] [F] [N]
