CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
G  C  G  C  G  C  G  D
[Verse 1]
I Graised my son the EmEighties way 
CI never let him Drest a day 
I said, "CWasting time can Donly lead to Glosing C  G  D  
When Gyou're a man you'll Embe my son 
And I've Cnever lost, I’ve Dalways won 
There are Cthose who serve and Dthose who do the Gchoosing"C  G  
[Chorus]
And I said, "EmAlways fight, don't lose face 
CAlways lead, never chase 
ANo one knows the second place 
So Dhurt and bleed, but win the Crace"D  
[Verse 2]
He was Gnumber one in Emevery school 
CHe couldn't stand a Dwimp or fool 
Or Canyone who Ddribble-drooled of Gcaring C  G  D  
And he Gwon the prizes, he Emwon the fame 
CTill everybody Dknew his name 
And they Cloved him for his Ddevil-may-care Gdaring C  G  F  
[Verse 3]
And I Gliked his taste, I Emliked his style 
And I Cknew that in a Dlittle while 
He'd beCgin to use his Dcharm and guile to Gmake it C  G  D  
He'd Gbe the boss man Emof this town 
He’d Clet nobody Dpush him down 
He'd be the Chardest, and the Dtoughest and he'd Gtake it C  G  
[Chorus]
And I said, "EmAlways fight, don't lose face 
CAlways lead, never chase 
ANo one knows the second place 
So Dhurt and bleed, but win the Crace"D  
[Verse 4]
So Gwhen he passed the Embig exam 
I was Cproud he came, the DBig I Am 
I could Csee he didn't give a Ddamn who Gthought it C  G  D  
And I Gsaid it’s time you Emhad your wheels 
CSo you can see how Dpower feels 
So I Cfound the best and the Dfastest, and I Gbought it C  G  
[Verse 5]
In his Csports car and designer jeans 
He Gplayed the king of Emall the teens 
And he Amsoon found out, Cmoney means, best Dlabel G  D  C  
And the Ggirls he had wore Emsweet perfume 
Their Cscent still lingered Din his room 
In the Cmorning, he'd just Dsmile across the Gtable C  G  
[Instrumental]
Em    C    A    D  G  D  G  C
[Verse 6]
Then Glast week in a Emcountry lane 
In Cdarkness and in Dpouring rain 
A Cyoung kid must have Dbeen insane to Gtry him C  G  D  
In a Gclapped out Ford with Emwhite-walled tyres 
His Cchiming horn lit Dmy son's fires 
As he Cflashed his beams and Dtried to roar on Gby him C  G  
[Verse 7]
And Clike the man I knew he'd be 
GMy son chose to disEmagree 
And they Amraced together Cfast to see who'd Dweaken G  D  C  
And Gjust as my son Empulled ahead 
A Cwhite-walled tyre Dlost its tread 
And the Ctwo cars locked as Dflames became their Gbeacon C  G  
[Chorus]
And I said, "EmAlways fight, don't lose face 
CAlways lead, never chase 
ANo one knows the second place 
So Dhurt and bleed, but win the Crace__D__"
[Verse 8]
I Graised my son the EmEighties way 
CI never let him Drest a day 
I said, "CWasting time can Donly lead to Glosing C  G  D  
When Gyou're a man you'll Embe my son 
And I've Cnever lost, I’ve Dalways won 
There are Cthose who serve and Dthose who do the Gchoosing"C  G  
I know I was Cright to make him Dso afraid of GlosingC  G  
Because there are Cthose who serve and Dthose who do the Gchoosing

CAPO: 2nd Fret

[Intro]

G C G C G C G D

[Verse 1]

G Em

I raised my son the Eighties way

C D

I never let him rest a day

C D G C G D

I said, "Wasting time can only lead to losing

G Em

When you're a man you'll be my son

C D

And I've never lost, I’ve always won

C D G C G

There are those who serve and those who do the choosing"

[Chorus]

And I said, "Always fight, don't lose face

Always lead, never chase

No one knows the second place

D C D

So hurt and bleed, but win the race"

[Verse 2]

G Em

He was number one in every school

C D

He couldn't stand a wimp or fool

C D G C G D

Or anyone who dribble-drooled of caring

G Em

And he won the prizes, he won the fame

C D

Till everybody knew his name

C D G C G F

And they loved him for his devil-may-care daring

[Verse 3]

G Em

And I liked his taste, I liked his style

C D

And I knew that in a little while

C D G C G D

He'd begin to use his charm and guile to make it

G Em

He'd be the boss man of this town

C D

He’d let nobody push him down

C D G C G

He'd be the hardest, and the toughest and he'd take it

[Chorus]

And I said, "Always fight, don't lose face

Always lead, never chase

No one knows the second place

D C D

So hurt and bleed, but win the race"

[Verse 4]

G Em

So when he passed the big exam

C D

I was proud he came, the Big I Am

C D G C G D

I could see he didn't give a damn who thought it

G Em

And I said it’s time you had your wheels

C D

So you can see how power feels

C D G C G

So I found the best and the fastest, and I bought it

[Verse 5]

In his sports car and designer jeans

G Em

He played the king of all the teens

Am C D G D C

And he soon found out, money means, best label

G Em

And the girls he had wore sweet perfume

C D

Their scent still lingered in his room

C D G C G

In the morning, he'd just smile across the table

[Instrumental]

Em C A D G D G C

[Verse 6]

G Em

Then last week in a country lane

C D

In darkness and in pouring rain

C D G C G D

A young kid must have been insane to try him

G Em

In a clapped out Ford with white-walled tyres

C D

His chiming horn lit my son's fires

C D G C G

As he flashed his beams and tried to roar on by him

[Verse 7]

And like the man I knew he'd be

G Em

My son chose to disagree

Am C D G D C

And they raced together fast to see who'd weaken

G Em

And just as my son pulled ahead

C D

A white-walled tyre lost its tread

C D G C G

And the two cars locked as flames became their beacon

[Chorus]

And I said, "Always fight, don't lose face

Always lead, never chase

No one knows the second place

D C D

So hurt and bleed, but win the race____"

[Verse 8]

G Em

I raised my son the Eighties way

C D

I never let him rest a day

C D G C G D

I said, "Wasting time can only lead to losing

G Em

When you're a man you'll be my son

C D

And I've never lost, I’ve always won

C D G C G

There are those who serve and those who do the choosing"

C D G C G

I know I was right to make him so afraid of losing

C D G

Because there are those who serve and those who do the choosing
