Version 1 Version 2 Version 3Racing In The Street by Bruce Springsteen [C] I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396 Fuelie [F] heads and a Hurst on the floor [Dm] She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot Outside the [F] Seven-Eleven [C] store Me and my [C] partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch And he [F] rides with me from town to town We only [Dm] run for the money got no strings attached We shut `em [F] up and then we shut `em [C] down [C] Tonight tonight the strip's just right I'm gonna [F] blow `em off in my first heat [Dm] Summer's here and the time is right For [F] racin' in the C street [C We take all the action we can meet And we [F] cover all the northeast states When the [Dm] strip shuts down we run `em in the street >From the [F] fire roads to the interstate Now [C ]Some guys they just give up living And start dying [F] little by little piece by piece Some guys [Dm] come home from work and wash up And go [F] racin' in the street [C] Tonight tonight the strip's just right I'm gonna [F] blow `em all out of their seats [Dm] Calling out around the world We're going [F] racin' in the street [C] He met her on the strip three years ago In a [F] Camaro with this dude from L.A. He [Dm] blew that Camaro off his back and he [F] drove that little girl away But now there's [C] wrinkles around his baby's eyes And she [F] cries herself to sleep at night When [Dm] he comes home the house is dark She says [F] Baby make it all right She [C] sits on the porch of her daddy's house But [F] all her pretty dreams are torn She [Dm] stares out alone into the night With the eyes of [F] one who hates for just being born For all the [C] shut-down strangers and hot rod angels [F] Rumbling through this promised land [Dm] Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea And [F] wash these sins off our hands [C] Tonight tonight the highway's bright Out of our [F] way mister you best keep Cause [Dm] summer's here and the time is right For [F] racin' in the street [C]
