I flew past La Brea, Schwab's and Crescent Heights, And all the Jag could see were my six taillights He passed me at Doheny then I started to swerve, But I pulled her out and there we were - at Dead Man's Curve Riff Before Interlude: |--------------------------------| |--------------------------------| |--2-------2-----2(let it ring)--| |-------2-----2------------------| |--------------------------------| |--------------------------------| Interlude (Spoken part) (HOLD all the chords): "Well, the last thing I remember, Doc, I started to swerve And then I saw the Jag slide into the curve I know I'll never forget that horrible sight, I guess I found out for myself that everyone was right" "Won't come back from dead man's curve" |----------------------|--------------|-------------------| |----------------------|--------------|-------------------| |--6--6--7--7--4-4--6--|--6--6--6--6--|-------------------| |--6--6--7--7--4-4--6--|--6--6--6--6--|-------------------| |--4--4--5--5--2-2--4--|--4--4--4--4--|--4-4-2-2-1-1------| |----------------------|--------------|--------------4-4--| Dead man's curve, Dead man's curve, Dead man's curve, Dead man's curve, Dead man's curve, Dead man's curve.
