RACIN' LIKE THE WIND
(Chuck Girard)
C                Gm    C             Gm
Racin' like the wind, feelin' like a winter's day
C             Gm                   F
'Lookin' all along the way for the things I've always known
C                Gm    C               Gm
Racin' like the wind, racin' down that long dark freeway
C               Gm                          F
Racin' like the winnin' is the only way the race
                              G7
Can finally end, can finally end
                     C      (Gm.....C...Gm)
I'm racin' like the wind

C                      Gm    
See the light at the end of the tunnel
C                     Gm     
See the light at the front of the tunnel
F                     Dm
Runnin' so long, the feelin's gettin' stronger
         E7                        Am
That the end of the runnin' may be never
            F7 
And now I'm racin' like the wind
G7                           C
Racin' like the wind back to you
    F7                    G7                          C
I'm racin' like the wind, racin' like the wind back to you

C               Gm
Racin' like the wind through the tunnel
C                 Gm
Slidin' down the spout of the funnel
C                     Gm               F
Will I ever learn to just give up and let my freedom fly
C#                                                     F
Racin' like the wind through the shadow of a long dark hallway
C#                                                        Bb
I'm tryin' to make some time but never really gainin' any ground
    G                                                      C
It seems like the runnin' keeps me runnin' like I'm movin' backwards
            F7 
But now I'm racin' like the wind
G7                           C
Racin' like the wind back to you

Ab                                                        C
Cryin' like the thunder as I kick against the fences that enclose me
Ab                                                  F
I built them all and I built them strong enough to hold me

     D             
I'm tryin' to kick 'em down but you know
                           Gm
They surround me and they choke me

            Eb7 
And yet I'm racin' like the wind
F7                            Bb
Racin' like the wind back to you
Eb
Racin' like the wind
F7                           Bb
Racin' like the wind back to you
