and repeat 1X starting with open 6th string

Tank is full, switch is on

Night is warm, cops are gone

F+9

Rocket bike is all her own

It's called a hurricane

She told me once it's quite a ride

It's shaped so there's this place inside

F+9

Where if you're moving you can hide

Safe within the rain

F+9 Em6

She wants to run away

But there's nowhere that she can go

F+9 Em6 D9sus4

Nowhere the pain won't come again

F+9 Em6

But she can hide

Hide in the pouring rain

F+9 G C

She rides the eye of the hurricane

F+9 G

Tell the truth, explain to me

How you got this need for speed

She laughed and said "it might just be

The next best thing to love."

Hope is gone and she confessed

When you lay your dream to rest

You can get what's second best

But it's hard to get enough

Am7 G F+9

We saw her ride so fast last night

Am7 G F+9 G

Racing by a flash of light

Riding quick, the street was dark

A shining truck she thought was parked

It blocked her path, stopped her heart

But not the hurricane

She saw her chance to slip the trap

There was just the room to pass in back

But then it moved, closed the gap

She never felt the pain

coda

F+9 G C

chord shapes:

C 0 0 0 0 0 0

F+9 5 2 0 0 0 x

G x 0 2 0 x x

Am7 x 2 4 0 0 x

Em6 4 4 0 0 x x

D9sus4 2 2 4 0 0 x

I have tried to use "standard" notation. In the chord shapes, "x" means

don't play that string. In the tab, "h" means hammer on, "p" means pull

off, "\" slide down, "/" slide up.

You can easily get away with just strumming the chords after the intro.

The coda is left as an excercise for the reader (meaning of course that

I haven't done it yet). :->

If you find any errors, let me know.

ps - I am working on Burgandy Heart Shaped Medallion now, but I am using

a different tuning than David does. I will try to transcribe it to his

and post it when I'm done.
