Dead Man's Curve Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I was cruisin' in my
Stingray late one night
When an XKE pulled up on the right
He rolled down the window of his
shiny new Jag
And challenged me then and
there to a drag
I said "You're on buddy -- my mill's running fine

[Verse 2]
[D]Let's come
off the line
now at Sunset and Vine
But I'll go you one better, if
you've got the nerve
Let's race all the way -- to Dead Man's
Curve"
(Dead Man's Curve) is no place to play
(Dead Man's Curve) you'd
best keep away
(Dead Man's Curve) I
can hear 'em say

[Verse 3]
"Won't come back
[G]
from Dead Man's Curve"
The street was deserted late Friday night
We were buggin' each other

[Verse 4]
[G]while we
sat out the light
We [D]both popped the clutch
when the light turned green
You [A]shoulda heard the whine
from my screamin' machine!

[Verse 5]
I [D]flew past La Brea,
Schwab's and Crescent Heights
And [G]all the Jag could see
were my six taillights
He [D]passed me at Doheny
then I started to swerve
But I [Em]pulled her out and there we
[A]were - at Dead Man's Curve

[Verse 6]
[D](Dead Man's Curve) is
no place [Eb]to play
[F](Dead Man's Curve...
[Fsus4])[Bb]

[Verse 7]
"Well, the last thing I remember, Doc
I started [Gm]to swerve
And then I saw the Jag [G]slide
into the [Eb]curve
I know I'll never forget that
horrible [Ab]sight
I guess I found out for my[A]self
that everyone was right"

[Verse 8]
Won't come [Bb]back from [A]Dead

[Verse 9]
Man's Curve
[A](Dead Man's Curve) is no place
to play
(Dead Man's Curve) you'd best
keep away
(Dead Man's Curve) I can hear
'em say
"Won't come back from [D]Dead
Man's Curve"

[Verse 10]
(Dead Man's Curve) is [D]no place to play
[Bm](Dead Man's Curve) you'd
best keep away
[G](Dead Man's Curve) I
can hear 'em say
[A]"Won't come [Bb]back from
[A]Dead Man's Curve"

[Outro 1]
[A][A][D]
