Verse 1:
FA#
I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night
SI
When an XKE pulled up on the right
FA#
And rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
DO#
And challenged me then and there to a drag
FA#
I said, "you're on, buddy, my mill's runnin' fine
SI
Let's come off the line, now, at Sunset and Vine
FA#
But I'll go you one better if you've got the nerve
SOL#m
Let's race all the way
DO# FA#
To Dead Man's Curve"
Chorus
FA#
Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play
MIbm
Dead Man's Curve, you must keep away
SI
Dead Man's Curve, I can hear 'em say:
DO# RE SIm DO# RE DO# /SI /SIb /SOL#
/ / / / / / / /
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"
Verse 2:
The street was deserted late Friday night
We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light
We both popped the clutch when the light turned green
You shoulda heard the whine from my screamin' machine
I flew past LaBrea, Schwab's, and Crescent Heights
And all the Jag could see were my six taillights
He passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve
But I pulled her out and there we were
At Dead Man's Curve
Partial chorus:
FA# FA# SOL SOL#
Dead Man's Curve, it's no place to play
LA LA7
Dead Man's Curve
Dramatic interlude:
RE
Well - the last thing I remember, Doc, I started to swerve
SIm
And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve
SOL
I know I'll never forget that horrible sight
DO
I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right
DO# RE SIm DO# RE DO# /SI /SIb /SOL#
/ / / / / / / /
"Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve"
[repeat chorus to fade]
