Capo 1
 
[Intro]
 
F C Am G x2
 
 
            F                C
It was the summer before the real world started and,
   Am         G
The deal was we would get to go, if we
F             C
Cleaned it up, and got it running,
  Am            G
Daddy's old Winnebago.
 
 
 F                  C
Wing and a prayer down 65,
 Am                    G
Five best friends on four bald tires,
        F              C
I can still see Billy smiling
                 G
When we finally made it.
 
 
        F         C
To Talladega, boys raised up,
 Am              G
Whiskey in your glass, 
          F            C
here's to turning up, slowing down 
    Am               G
and cars that go real fast,
         F                   C
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing,
     Am               G                  F
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,
                   G
Sure would like to stay in, 
        F C Am G
Talladega.
 
 
F              C
Like a storm, time rolls on,
      Am              G
You can't hit pause as we just did.
F                 C
Most days in life don't stand out,
      Am               G
But life's about those days that will, like,
 
 
F             C
Rocking rando, getting rowdy,
Am              G              F
Shooting roman candles at the man in the moon,
           C             G
til the Alabama sun was breaking.
 
 
         F         C
Over Talladega, boys raised up,
 Am              G
Whiskey in your glass, 
          F            C
here's to turning up, slowing down 
    Am               G
and cars that go real fast,
         F                   C
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing,
     Am               G                  F
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,
                   G
Sure would like to stay in, 
        F C Am G
Talladega.
 
 
    F
When the winds go cold and it blows October,
    F
I think about us shoulder to shoulder,
   F
Like those cars my thoughts roll over and over and over,
         G
In my mind
 
 
                    F         C
Tonight i'm in Talladega, boys raised up,
 Am              G
Whiskey in your glass, 
          F            C
here's to turning up, slowing down 
    Am               G
and cars that go real fast,
         F                   C
We were laughing and living, drinking and wishing,
     Am               G                  F
And thinking as that checkered flag was waving,
                   G
Sure would like to stay in, 
        F C Am G
Talladega.

Check out my cover of this song. I have my guitar tuned down a half a step, because I was doing some other stuff prior to this video. Just capo the 6th fret. Hope it helps out.
