C G Am F Am C G
[Verse 1]
C               G                Am
Contemplate the subtle grace of Ditmar
      F
as he drives his race car
Am                  C              G
through turn six at Riverside in a powerslide
   C                G           Am
He used to play the cello in a jazz band
     F             Am
O so mellow and so low
    Am         C                        G
the guys would close their eyes and say go man go
[Chorus]
F                                       C
Well there ain't no sunshine when she's gone
F                                      G
and there ain't no peace when she's at home
[Verse 2]
   C             G                   Am
If it had been a boxing match they'd say
   Am       F                    Am
he tried to save the bout with a Sunday punch
      C               G
and a knockout in the last round
   C                      G
He braked too late in the back straight
        Am                F              Am
hit the wall they all say that car was a fireball
C              G
before it even hit the ground
[Chorus]
F                                       C
Well there ain't no sunshine when she's gone
F                                      G
and there ain't no peace when she's at home
[Solo]

Contemplate the subtle grace of Ditmar
