             A                   
I climbed a mountain to qualify I 
       G                Em
went flat through the turns
           A                    
But I was down in the might-have 
                               G
beens and an old pal good as died
           A       G

      A   Asus2

                A   Asus2

             G
for the G I Joe
        A                 G       
And I‘d blown off almost everyone

when my motor let go

New England, Ontario we died in the 
dirt
                                G  
Those walls from mid Ohio to 
        Em
Toronto they hurt
       A                           
So we came to road america where we
                   G
 burned up at the lake
              A         G         
But at the speedway at Nazareth I 
           A
made no mistake
