[Intro]
D   C   Em   G   x4
 
[Verse 1]
D                             C
In summer '63 I was staying alive
Em                                D
hanging at the races, hoping to drive
D                                                    C
When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars
Em                    G                    D
I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar
 
[Verse 2]
D                                C
I'm up in the corner nursing a beer
Em                                      D
who should come laughing and joking in here
D                                              C
but Bobby Brown, the winner of the sports car race
Em                             G                   D
with some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place
 
[Verse 3]
G                    A      D
Bobby was a wild boy - one summer
   G                    A           D
he knocked down a motel wall with a hammer
     G                 A           D
He'd do anything - one night for a bet
   G                      A            D   A
he raced through the cornfields in a Corvette
 
[Instrumental]
Em   G   D   C
Em   G   D
 
[Verse 4]
D                                             C
I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that
         Em                                  D
with the beautiful girl and be king of the track
D                                       C
But the truth is when all was said and done
           Em             G                   D   C
it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
           Em             G                   D   C   Em   G
It was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
                  D   C   Em   G
The car was the one
                  D   C   Em   G
The car was the one
