CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Verse 1]
D
Oh, Rapid Roy that stock car boy
G7 D
He too much to believe
G7 D
You know he always got an extra pack of cigarettes
E7 A7
Rolled up in his t-shirt sleeve
D
He got a tattoo on his arm that say "baby"
G7 E7
He got another one that just say "hey"
D B7
But every Sunday afternoon he is a dirt track demon
E7 A7 D
In a fifty-seven Chevrolet
[Verse 2]
D
Oh, Rapid Roy that stock car boy
G7 D
He's the best driver in the land
G7 D
He say that he learned to race a stock car
E7 A7
By runnin' shine outta Alabam'
D
Oh, the demolition derby and the figure-eight
G7 E7
