And The Crowd Goes Wild

key: [E]

[E]  [D]  [A]

He was an u[E]nderdog, a [D]no threat
A N[A]ascar junkie, a rookie, a wannabe
[E]Still wet [D]behind the ears
[A]A red line rever just jammin' his gears
There are t[E]hose that are, [D]and those that ain't
[A]The quickest get stickers, he was nothin' but paint
[E]     [D]Chartruese pai[A]nt

Big race now we c[E]ut to, the la[D]st ten laps
And [A]here comes junior, sneakin up
From the b[E]ack of the pack, with a [D]fire in his eyes
[A]Waving out the window as he passes em by
[E]The tension mounts now he's [D]number two
[A]All outta rubber and runnin on fumes
It's [E]door to door, o[D]ut of turn four
He s[A]ees those checkers and he hears that roar

And the c[E]rowd goes wild [D]    [A]
And the c[E]rowd goes wild [D]    [A]
[E]You're s[D]hining like a s[A]uperstar baby
And the c[E]rowd goes wild [D]    [A]

He played the h[E]onky-tonks, the [D]roadside bars
A r[A]eal hum-dinger, a blue eyed singer
With a r[E]ed guitar a[D]round his neck
[A]Paying them dues bout starving to death
But he t[E]old his mamma every t[D]ime he came back
[A]One of these days I'm gonna buy you a big long
[E]Cadillac,[D]  get you o[A]utta this shack

Then he [E]hit the road, f[D]rontin' a band
S[A]ix long hairs bobbing up and down
In a C[E]hevy van, [D]all beat up
[A]Did a lot of giving but he never gave up
Then o[E]ne night, [D]he wrote a song
[A]Made a little record it started catching on
Now it's c[E]oliseums, he's [D]all the rage
The l[A]ights go down when he hits the stage
