Great Talladega Road Race

C     Em        Bb   F
Daybreak      sunshine

       Ab        C              G             C
We gotta be gone by a quarter to nine

       C               Em       Bb      F
The bikes in the van are fully gassed

Ab     C              G          Am        Ab   F     C
Safety wired and ready to last



     Am                     Fmaj7
A hundred ten miles in the hot southern sun

     D7                             G7
The Talladega National has got to be won



C                    Em     Bb         F
Some how our ardor wasn't the same

                Ab            C               G               Am        Ab   F     C
When the green Kawasaki went down in flames

     Am                     Fmaj7
It all appears as an insane dream

          D7                     G7
What we will do to our pretty machines



        C         Em      Bb          F
The race is over the sun goes down

       Ab        C                      G             C
We close our doors and are northward bound

          C      Em    Bb           F
Somebody asks as the night falls

Ab                  C                G              Am        Ab   F     C
Who won the marbles; we can't really recall


 Am                     Fmaj7
A hundred ten miles in the hot southern sun

     D7                             G7
The Talladega National has got to be won

C     Em        Bb   F
Daybreak      sunshine

       Ab        C              G             C
Onto the next race at a quarter to nine

-- 1967
