_ _ [C] _ _ _ Got [G] up [Am] before dawn, _ _ [D] _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ went down to [C] the racetrack, _ [G] _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
riding with the windows down, _ [D] _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ You parked behind the [C] panic, _ _

coming up through [C] the cracks, _ [G] pale

_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ [Am] _ _
Sometimes I'll meet you [C] out there, _ _ _

just [Em] last December, [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ she told me how you died at last, at [D] [F] last. _ _ _
And that morning at the racetrack [C] was one thing I remembered, _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ [Am] _ I turned it over in my
[C] mind, _ _ _ _ [Am] _
