Verse 1:
FisI was cruising' in my Stingray late one night,
BWhen an XKE pulled up on the right
FisHe rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag,
CisAnd challenged me then and there to a drag
FisI said "You're on buddy -- my mill's running fine,
BLet's come off the line now at Sunset and Vine
FisBut I'll go you one better, if you've got the nerve,
gisLet's race all thCise way -- to Dead Man'Fiss Curve"

Chorus:
disDead man's curve
BDead man's curve

End of Chorus:
"Won't come back from dead man's curve" (for the rhythm, follow the lyrics...)

Verse 2:
FisThe street was deserted late Friday night;
BWe were buggin' each other while we sat out the light
FisWe both popped the clutch when the light turned green,
CisYou shoulda heard the whine from my screaming' machine!
FisI flew past La Brea, Schwab's and Crescent Heights,
BAnd all the Jag could see were my six taillights
FisHe passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve,
gisBut I pulled her out and theCisre we were - at Dead Man'Fiss Curve

Interlude (Spoken part) (HOLD all the chords):

D"Well, the last thing I remember, Doc, I started to swerve
b And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve
GI know I'll never forget that horrible sight,
CI guess I found out for myself that everyone was right"
