Verse 1:

F
I was cruisin` in my Stingray late one night
B
When an XKE pulled up on the right
F
And rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
C
And challenged me then and there to a drag
F
I said, you`re on, buddy, my mill`s runnin` fine
B
Let`s come off the line, now, at Sunset and Vine
F
But I`ll go you one better if you`ve got the nerve
Gm
Let`s race all the way
C F
To Dead Man`s Curve

Chorus:

F
Dead Man`s Curve, it`s no place to play
Dm
Dead Man`s Curve, you must keep away
B
Dead Man`s Curve, I can hear `em say:
[C] [D] [Bm] C D C /B /A /G
/ / / / / / / /
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:

F [F] G G
Dead Man`s Curve, it`s no place to play
A A7
Dead Man`s Curve

Dramatic interlude:

D
Well - the last thing I remember, Doc, I started to swerve
Bm
And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve
G
I know I`ll never forget that horrible sight
C
I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right

[C] [D] [Bm] C D C /B /A /G
/ / / / / / / /
Won`t come back from Dead Man`s Curve

[repeat chorus to fade]
