Hopped-Up-Mustang Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]
Let me tell you about my new steam. for com[Am]fort,
just my speed.
A
Ford
Mustang
[E]modified to set the pace.
Man, I could hardly [Am]wait
to get out and [B]race.[E]
It's [Em]got a 289 motor
with a special cobra [Am]kit.
There ain't nothing on the
road that can even touch it.
[Em]It's [E]got
carburetors and it uses them [Em]all with a four
[Am]-speed stick that [Em]just won't [E]stall.
With that transistor ignition and power pipe exhaust,
[Am]this is a machine that'll
really get lost.
Everything [Em]built to make it perform.
[E]It may[Em] not be hot, but it sur[Am]e
is [Em]warm.[E]
[Em]We t[G]ook delivery at th[G5]e factory
late [Gm]one night.
It was purring [C]like a kitten and
moving just right.
We pulled [G]up on the [G5]freeway like it was going
[Gm]downhill and started [C]passing the
[D]sleds [Am]like [Gm]they were standing [G5]still.[G]
[Am]Then all of a sudden,
before I could bat an eye,
a
Cadillac [Dm]sedan passed [D]me by.
Somebody said,
like, that's the wheels [Am]for me.
But by then, the taillights was all
[D]I could see.[Am][Em][C][E]
[B]Well, the[Em]se cats ribbed
[E]me for being behind,
so I [Em]started [Am]to make that
Mustang unwind.
Pushed the foot feed [Em]clear to the floor,
said, that's all [E]there is,
there [Em]ain't no [Am]more.[A][Am][E][Am][Em]
[E]Smoke was rolling out of the back
when I started to gain on [Am]that
Cadillac.
I was sure I could catch him and I hoped I could [Em]pass,
but by then I knew I'd be short on [Am]gas.[Em][E]
We went around a curve and passed a truck. I pulled
out my rabbit's [Em]foot [Am]just for luck.
The fenders just missed a guardrail post.
[E]The guy in the back was white
as [Am]a coat.[E]
[Gm]I glanced over to check
on the other side.
Her face [C]was blue and I thought she died,
but I wasn't worried [Gm]be cause what the heck,
by now me and that caddy was
neck and [C]neck.[D][G][G5][G]
[Am]I guess they thought I'd lost my sense,
the telephone poles [D]looked like a picket fence.
They said, slow down, [Am]I see spots.
The lines in the road look just
[D]like dots.[Em][E][B]
Went [E]around a corner with the tires
on the side.
You could feel [Am]the tension.
Man, what a ride.
I said, hold on, I got [E]a license to fly.
And that
Cadillac faded back and [Am]let
[B]me by.[E][Am][E][Em]
Then I looked in the mirror and saw
something coming.
[E]I thought it [Am]was a plane,
by the way it was numbered.
I'd been caught [E]by a [Em]helicopter [E]in the
CHP.
That was it, gang, [Am]the end of [E]me.
Well, they busted me
and threw me in the can,
so there [A]was nothing I could
do but call the old man.
[Am]He said, whale[E] in jail,
cause I won't bail.
Dang [A]me, he told [B]me not
to hop [E]up that
[A]Mustang.[B][E][A][B][E]
