1.) "The Chevys and Fords"

[Intro]
F


[Verse 1]
           C
There's a feud that won't go away
            F
It's gotten stronger through the years
   C
It used to be fought with guns and words
     F
But now it's fought with gears
    Bb
The Hatfields and McCoys
      F               Bb
Ain't settled their spat
       F
It's a modern day rivalry
C                   F
Fought out on the track


[Chorus]
    D
The Hatfields are driving Chevys
       G
The McCoys are driving Fords
C
Both sides think they're better
            F
The Winston Cup is their reward
D
Their goal is to separate
     G
The men from the boys
               C
Will it be the Chevys or the Fords?
                    F
The Hatfields or McCoys?


[Verse 2]
        C
Now the hills are asphalt banks
       F
Their horses are under the hood
C
Their gunpowder's turned to racing fuel
        F
But it burns just as good
Bb
One side's "Like a Rock"
    F                     Bb
The other's "Built Ford Tough"
F
They wanna come in first
C              F
Second's not enough


[Chorus]
    D
The Hatfields are driving Chevys
       G
The McCoys are driving Fords
C
Both sides think they're better
            F
The Winston Cup is their reward
D
Their goal is to separate
     G
The men from the boys
               C
Will it be the Chevys or the Fords?
                    F
The Hatfields or McCoys?


[Guitar Solo]
D    G    C    F
Bb   F  D
G A Bb B C D Eb E F


[Bridge]
     Bb
Most people don't know
     F
The cousins they won't claim
    Bb
The Dodge and the Pontiac
     C
Sometimes get in the way


[Chorus]
    D
The Hatfields are driving Chevys
       G
The McCoys are driving Fords
C
Both sides think they're better
            F
The Winston Cup is their reward
D
Their goal is to separate
     G
The men from the boys
               C
Will it be the Chevys or the Fords?
                    F
The Hatfields or McCoys?
               Bb
Will it be the Chevys or the Fords?
     C              F
The Hatfields or McCoys?

G    C


[Verse 1]
G
   We've got a family tradition here
C
   That's been around for 50 years
  Am
A long bloodline getting longer
D
   Running harder and racing stronger
G
   Lee Petty drove with pride
      C
When his son Richard pulled along beside
Am
   How could he have ever known
     D                                 Dsus4 D
That that young man would hold the throne?


[Chorus]
C                    D
   These traditions sure run deep
         G        D/F#   Em          Em7
From the drivers to the fans in the seats
C                  D                  G
   It's a common prayer that we all keep
C                   D
   Passed down from father to son
G         D/F#      Em     Em7
   Little slice of America
C            D                 G    C
   These traditions sure run deep


[Verse 2]
G
   Ned Jarrett, now there's a name
C
   What a man for the hall of fame
Am
   Did it ever enter his mind
        D
He'd be calling the race when Dale crossed the line?
G
   The Allisons, what a legacy
     C
They made their place in history
Am
   Makes you wonder how high he'd have climbed
    D                                   Dsus4 D
If Davey could have had a little more time


[Chorus]
C                    D
   These traditions sure run deep

   There's no doubt

There's a lot of high expectations
   C
Of carrying on the hopes and dreams

To the next generation

3.) "The Ballad of the Old School Bus"

[Intro]
A


[Verse 1]
              A
Well, I got a big ol' raise in pay
        D7
Back in 1993
  A
I told myself right then
                   F              E
We'd be going to a race in a new RV
A
I went down to Jake's RV Town
        D7
Found a dream home on wheels
E   N.C.
Out come a fella all dressed in plaid
N.C.
Said, "I'll give ya a heck of a deal!"
N.C.  A
Well, he had me convinced
           D7
It was the one I had to buy
     A
'til I refigured my raise in pay
       F            E
Felt I was 100,000 shy
        A
Well, I couldn't let my family down
    D7
So I turned to plan B
E N.C.
Buford Johnson had an old school bus
   E7
He said he'd sell to me


[Chorus]
    D
She wasn't much to look at
        A
But to me, she was a gem
D
Perfect for the wife and kids
     A
And going to Watkins Glen
D7              E
Racing flags, platform top
      A               D
And a cooler just for me
      A
And a coat hanger antenna
       E  N.C.   A
For my portable TV


[Verse 2]
      A
Well, we went to the track
                  D7
And I was feeling proud of our old bus
       A
When a great, big, brand new motorhome
       F             E
Pulled in beside of us
             A
Well, it was plain to see that it had all
    D7
The luxuries of home
   E   N.C.
An air conditioner and an indoor john
N.C.
And even a cellular phone
N.C.  A
But I didn't let that bother me
      D7
I had more than I'd ever wished
    A
And then I happened to notice
                 F          E
My neighbor had a satellite dish
  A
A ten foot screen, an ice machine
    D7
A recliner and a Frigidaire
  E N.C.
I almost felt ridiculous
            E7
And then I said, "Well, I don't care!"


[Chorus]
       D
'cause mine wasn't much to look at
        A
But to me, she was a gem
D
Perfect for the wife and kids
     A
And going to Watkins Glen
D7             E
Racing flags, platform top
      A               D
And a cooler just for me
      A
And a coat hanger antenna
       E N.C.    A7
For my portable TV


[Bridge]
D                 A
   Ha, ha, ha, ha
            D            E7
What time's Indy come on?   Yeah
D                           A
   Ah, right after the race
         D
Ah, cool
A    E7    A


[Verse 3]
A    N.C.
Next thing I know, I was going nuts
   D7 N.C.
My driver, he'd took the lead
            A  N.C.
Well, I was yelling and screaming
N.C.                         F                  E
My neighbor came over with a thumbs-up sign for me
   A      N.C.
We hugged and danced and jumped around
    D7     N.C.
And shared the ultimate high
    E      N.C.
You should've seen us two grown men
N.C.
With tears in our eyes
N.C. A
Now, we've become the best of friends
D7
Ever since that race
    A
And every year since then
                 F        E
We'd meet in the same old place
        A
Now the moral of the story is at the track
          D7
We're all equal, you and me
               E7
Whether you're driving a brand new motorhome
     E7 N.C.     A
Or a school bus RV


[Chorus]
    D
She wasn't much to look at
        A
But to me, she was a gem
D
Perfect for the wife and kids
     A
And going to Watkins Glen
D7             E7
Racing flags, platform top
      A               D
And a cooler just for me
      A
And a coat hanger antenna
             E7
To watch the whole dang race
                A
On my portable TV

4.) "Ridin' With The Legend"

[!] Capo on 3rd fret [!]

[Intro]
G    D    A
G    D    A


[Verse 1]
A                                       G
   I was on my way to Daytona, I had my race gear in my pack
         D                                A
When a stranger pulled up beside me in a stock car painted black
                                        G
He was dressed like a NASCAR driver, mustache with mirrored eyes
              D                                      A
Said, "It's a long walk to Florida, would you like a ride, son?"


[Verse 2]
       A                                G
So I crawled across the roll-cage as he fired that Chevy up
    D                                        A
The badge on his sleeve said the man had won seven Winston cups
                                 G
His eyes were intimidating as he rode into the night
      D                                           A
And I knew there was something strange about this ride


[Chorus]
          G                      D                     A
He said, "Boy, can you make fans stand and scream your name?
                                                         E
Can you hit 'em in the rear and grab another gear, still roll into victory lane?"
          G                       D                  A
He said, "Boy, do you know how it feels to run three wide?
                 G                     D                         A
'cause if you're Daytona-bound, let me warn you, you're in for a ride."


[Interlude]
G    D    A



[Verse 3]
         A                                 G
Then he cried when we got to Daytona as he pulled onto the track
            D                                                A
And he said, "This is where you get out, boy, 'cause number three ain't comin' back."
                                           G
As I crawled out of the race car, I said, "Thanks, I'll catch you later."
        D                                         A
He said, "It'll be tough catching me, boy, 'cause I'm The Intimidator."


[Chorus]
          G                      D                     A
He said, "Boy, can you make fans stand and scream your name?
                                                         E
Can you hit 'em in the rear and grab another gear, still roll into victory lane?"
          G                       D                  A
He said, "Boy, do you know how it feels to run three wide?
                 G                     D                         A
'cause if you're Daytona-bound, let me warn you, you're in for a ride."
          G                      D                     A
He said, "Boy, can you make fans stand and scream your name?
                                                         E
Can you hit 'em in the rear and grab another gear, still roll into victory lane?"
          G                       D                  A
He said, "Boy, do you know how it feels to run three wide?
                 G                     D                         A
'cause if you're Daytona-bound, let me warn you, you're in for a ride.
          G                     D                         A
If you're Daytona-bound, let me warn you, you're in for a ride."


[Outro]
G    D    A
            "You've been ridin' with the legend
G    D                       A
       And it's a fast ride."
G    D    A

5.) "Blood Sweat and Gears"

[Intro]
A    G    E


[Verse 1]
      E
This job's not for the faint of heart
    E
You wouldn't call it a walk in the park
A
No such thing as nine-to-five
     E
Two hundred miles an hour, just trying to survive
     B7
It's not your normal suit-and-tie career
           A
To make it in this field
         G                  E
It takes blood, sweat and gears


[Chorus]
A
Blood, sweat and gears
E
Men with no fear
          A
They look death in the eye
E
Every time they drive
      B7
There ain't no second guessing here
   A                   G                E
It all comes down to blood, sweat and gears


[Verse 2]
E
This ain't no assembly line
     E
It's not your ordinary grind
   A
No time to play, the work's too hard
    E
The only brakes are on the car
      B7
There ain't no corporate ladder to climb
      A                        G          E
They don't punch a clock, they cross the line


[Chorus]
A
Blood, sweat and gears
E
Men with no fear
          A
They look death in the eye
E
Every time they drive
      B7
There ain't no second guessing here
   A                   G                E
It all comes down to blood, sweat and gears


[Guitar Solo]
A    E    A    B7
A  G  E


[Bridge]
    A                                    E
One way to describe the men behind the wheel
   A                                   B7
Is nothing but guts inside a cage of steel


[Chorus]
A
Blood, sweat and gears
E
Men with no fear
          A
They look death in the eye
E
Every time they drive
      B7
There ain't no second guessing here
   A                   G                E
It all comes down to blood, sweat and gears
      B7
There ain't no second guessing here
   A                   G                E
It all comes down to blood, sweat and gears

6.) "Me and Dad"

[!] Capo on 1st fret [!]

[Intro]
D    A    E
D    A    Asus2  B7


[Verse 1]
E
Me and Dad were talking
   Amaj7
On our way to the track
           D                          Asus2
I said, "I bet you've never seen Jeff Gordon
                             E
Darrell, Junior or guys like that
     E
Just faster cars and bigger stars
    Amaj7
And girls and high-banked curves"
        D
He just smiled at me
    Asus2             E
And never said a word
  E
I told him about their nerves of steel
    Amaj7
And cars that almost fly
 D                       Asus2
"You won't believe the skill
                             E
In the way that these guys drive"
E
There's more fans in the stands
Amaj7
Than I realized
        D
He just sat there listening
       Asus2           E
With a twinkle in his eyes


[Chorus]
         B
I said, "These are the days
           A             E
When they race for their pride
A                     E
Swapping paint in the turns
                      B
And coming out three-wide
B
Racing for the win
    C#m   B       A    G#m
And never looking back
F#m            B
These are the days at the track"
D    A    E
D    A    Asus2  B7


[Verse 2]
E
That's when my dad said to me
Amaj7
   "Now, hold on one minute, son
       D                Asus2
Let me tell you how it was
                  E
Back when I was young
         E
There was Jack Ingram and Buddy Baker
   Amaj7
And good ol' Alabama Gang"
       D
I just sat there and listened
      Asus2              E
As he rattled off those names
   E
He told me how the drivers
Amaj7
Worked on their own cars
           D                        Asus2
They had a pit crew of friends and family
                             E
But they all worked just as hard
   E
No walls to hit, just men of grit
   Amaj7
No sponsors, but a lot of heart
     D

He said, "Those were the days
          A              E
When they race for their pride
A                     E
Swapping paint in the turns
                      B
And coming out three-wide
B
Racing for the win
    C#m   B       A    G#m
And never looking back
F#m            B
These are the days at the track"

Swapping paint in the turns

And coming out three-wide

Racing for the win

Those were the days

It's more fun than a barroom brawl
E                                 A E
Having a good time's the only law

There's more wildlife here than a city zoo

I just saw Bubba soaking Betty Lou

He's the sharp-shooting water bottle king

[Verse 2]
E                             A E
Walking around concession row
  E                               A E
I ran into good-timing Tattoo Joe
      A                                D A
Well, he said, "Man, you won't believe
     E                            A E
What Mud Pit Mary just showed me"
  A
I never knew she had so much to share

'til I saw #3 tattooed right there

But the stands will soon be full

So listen to this driver's prayer

I don't wanna feel alone

9.) "Sons of Thunder"

[Intro]
A  B7  E


[Verse 1]
   E
It seems it's in their genes
         E
And runs through the 'bama trees
E
   Passed down from father to son
     E
That dire need for speed
       A
It's a bond that's so strong
           A
That it'll make and tear asunder
B7
Let me introduce you
                   E
To a few sons of thunder


[Chorus]
A
   Lee gave us Richard
          A
And then along came Kyle
F#
   Ned gave us Dale
              B
And man, the boys were running wild
