Night is warm, cops are gone

Rocket bike is all her own

It's called a hurricane
CC Piano Chord 

She told me once it's quite a ride
Am7Am7 Piano Chord 

It's shaped so there's this place inside
F+9F+9 Piano Chord 

Where if you're moving you can hide
GG Piano Chord 

Safe within the rain

She wants to run away
GG Piano Chord 
                                 CC Piano Chord 

But there's nowhere that she can go

Hide in the pouring rain

She rides the eye of the hurricane

F+9F+9 Piano Chord 
  GG Piano Chord 


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

chorus

Bridge

         GG Piano Chord 
      F+9F+9 Piano Chord 

We saw her ride so fast last night
Am7Am7 Piano Chord 
    GG Piano Chord 
    F+9F+9 Piano Chord 
           GG Piano Chord 

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

Chorus

coda

F+9F+9 Piano Chord 
              GG Piano Chord

chord shapes:

CC Piano Chord 
  	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.
