Em         C                  G
I know those steps lead to your door
  Em           C                 G
But I won't be climbing them no more
  Em             C          G              C
There's too many boys been down that way before

[Chorus]
    Em      D
I'd rather be
     G      C
On my Triumph '73
     G       C       G
Town is watching as I pass
  Em       C                   G
Throwing shadows on the working class
  Em        C         G             Em
I was once like them but now I'm flying fast

[Bridge]
    Em           D            G           C
Straight out of town as the rain patters down
    Em   C                G
I can hear his footsteps fall
     Em      C                G
Walking through your lamp-lit hall
    Em          D            G                C
He looks like a child, I look like nothing at all
    Em      D
The way I sail
   G             C
Behind a stormy veil

[Verse 2]
   Em           C             G
Now you're slipping off your gloves
   Em           C                       G
His heart is beating like a frightened dove
   Em          D
Just another fool
    G                  C
In the dreaded art of love

[Bridge]
  Em       D
So long, Sue
  G                     C
Though I know not what I'll do
  Em           C             G
Ain't gonna join the marine corps
  Em           C              G
Ain't gonna fight no rich mans war
  Em          C            G              C
There's too many boys gone down that way before

[Chorus]
   Em       D
I'd rather be
   G         C
On my Triumph '73
   G           C           G
Now I'm passing over the planes
   Em       C       G
95 in the passing lane
  Em         D
Chasing the wind
  G              Em
Despite it driving away

[Outro]
  Em     D
Way out west
  G                          C
Though I wish you all of the best
