Daytona 499

[Intro] D  G  D  G

[1° Verso]
D
There we were, coming 'round the 
bend
    G
One lap away from checkers in the 
wind
           D
Turn one, turn two, two three
               G
They never saw nothing like you and 
me
D
Down on the inside, laid in the pack
      G
Your hand on my knee, my foot on the
 gas
D                           G    
Makin' moves upfront, everybody 
                    D
was rooting for us

[Chorus]
                  G                
We could've been Earnhardt in that 
 A
three car
D
Down in victory lane
               G            
Standin' on a hood with that 
   A
Goodwrench
 D
Wastin' good champagne
                   G               
We could've been burnin'up 'stead 
     A
of burnin'out
 Bm          A      G
Before that finish line

But we were Daytona 499

[2° Verso]
           D
We dad a hell of a lead, had it 
runnin' good
      G
The whole grandstand was thinkin' we
 would
 D
Take the whole thing home
       G
Yeah, girl, we were good as gone
    D
Lookin' back now, we were moving too
 fast
      G
Had plenty good times, not enough 
gas
      D
The part that hurts the most
      G                           D
Is, girl, we were so damn close

[Chorus]
                 G                 
We could've been Earnhardt in that 
 A
three car
 D
Down in victory lane
               G            
Standin' on a hood with that 
   A
Goodwrench
D
Wastin' good champagne
                  G                
We could've been burnin'up 'stead 
     A
of burnin'out
 Bm          A      G
Before that finish line
 D/F#         G      A  G
But we were Daytona 499

[Interlude] A  Bm  A  G  A

[Bridge]
          D             G         
Yeah, we could've been Earnhardt 
         A
in that three car
 D
Just like '98

[Chorus]
                G           
Standin' on a hood with that 
      A
Goodwrench
 D
Wastin' good champagne
                  G                
We could've been burnin'up 'stead 
     A
of burnin'out
 Bm          A       G
Before that finish line
