Verse 1:
D 
I was flying down the highway
        D/E
Weaving in and out of traffic
      D/F#        G
I was racing time
D
An old man pulled out in front of me
    D/E
And I went crazy as can be
D/F#           G
I lost my mind
Em                         A
I blew my horn till I got close enough to see
    Em              D/F#          A           Asus  A
And what was on his car-tag sure convicted me


Chorus:
D    D/C#  D/A          A
P  O  W    three sixty-nine
G          D/F#               Em7       A
I should salute you from this heart of mine
      D            D/C#        D/A          A
And thank you for placing your life on the line
    Em       A  Asus A
For me, I'm free
D               D/C#           D/A    A     G
I pray that the rest of your journey is a peaceful one
            D/F#                 Em  D/F#
And may you take your own sweet time
    G      A
Mr. P O W three sixty-nine


D PEAT INTRO CHORDS

Verse 2:
D 
The things we take for granted
        D/E
In this life we lead are tragic
      D/F#        G
We should be ashamed
D
He left his home and family
    D/E
And cast his fate across the sea
D/F#           G
Would we do the same
Em                         A
Well I sure bet he's got some stories he could tell
    Em              D/F#          A           Asus  A
Ain't that many ever made it back from hell

D PEAT CHORUS

Em     D/F#                G
