[Start]

[Verse]
F#                               F#7           
■  I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night
        B                         
When an XKE pulled up on the right
   F#     F#7      F#                         
He 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 running 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
G#m                    C#               F#   
Let's race all the way ■  to Dead Man's Curve


[Chorus]
   F#              
Is no place to play
D#m                 
You'd best keep away
      B           
I can hear 'em say
C#                              C#7  
Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve


[Verse]
F#                                       
The street was deserted late Friday night
        B                                            
We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light
F#                                                   
We both popped the clutch when the light turned green
C#                                              C#7    
You should've heard the whine from my screamin' machine
F#                                        F#7    
I flew past La Brea Schwab's and Crescent Heights
B                                                
And all the Jag could see were my six tail lights
F#                                             
He passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve
      G#m7               B        C#                      
But I pulled her out and there we were at Dead Man's Curve
      C#           
Is no place to play
C#              
Dead Man's Curve
F#   A   A7 D                          
Well the ■  ■ last thing I remember Doc
D                  
I started to swerve
B                                          
And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve
Gmaj7                                       
I know I'll never forget that horrible sight
C                                                     
I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right


[Chorus]
D                         C#7        
Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve
C#    C#7       F#     
Is no ■   place to play
D#m                 
You'd best keep away
  B            C# 
I can hear 'em say
                C#                   
Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve
C#7       F#           
■   Is no place to play
D#m        B        
You'd best keep away
B                 
I can hear 'em say
E7    C#7  F#             D#m        
Won't come back from Dead Man's Curve
B  C#7             G#7 
Is ■   no place to play
C#7   C#  
you'd best
