She came home again
She was drunk, she's not my friend
She's a groovy teenage girl
She's doing alright by me
C#mIt's Aalright she's F#slowing up
RIFF2
But if you get her in a car
It's a long, long ride
Smashed up, buzzed out, speeding out of her mind
I'm scared for my auto, I'm 22 and a quarter
C#mI     Awill F#knock her out
C#mI,    AI F#breathe
AShe goes around and around and around and around
And C#mupside down, upside down
She's my Aspeeed king
Around and aC#mroundA  B  
RIFF1  (DRUMS)  RIFF1  (DRUMS)
RIFF2
We were sitting in a ditch
Some somersaulted pitch
The world and an ashtray's ash fill my mouth
But now my Ford Corsair's got a three inch hood
Smashed up, crushed down, mangled up for good
I gotta face the other
A brick filled inbred brother
C#mIt's Aalright she's F#slowing up
And C#mI, I say
Well, it's a Eclimb back to C#mhome an a ABritish Bruck
Mum Esaid, "Get out"
Who C#mcares, it's Agetting Btough
My Espeeed C#mking's AbackB  
My GR.A.F#C., my AeneG#my

RIFF2

She came home again

She was drunk, she's not my friend

She's a groovy teenage girl

She's doing alright by me

C#m A F#

It's alright she's slowing up

RIFF2

But if you get her in a car

It's a long, long ride

Smashed up, buzzed out, speeding out of her mind

I'm scared for my auto, I'm 22 and a quarter

C#m A F#

I will knock her out

C#m A F#

I, I breathe

She goes around and around and around and around

C#m

And upside down, upside down

She's my speeed king

C#m A B

Around and around

RIFF1 (DRUMS) RIFF1 (DRUMS)

RIFF2

We were sitting in a ditch

Some somersaulted pitch

The world and an ashtray's ash fill my mouth

But now my Ford Corsair's got a three inch hood

Smashed up, crushed down, mangled up for good

I gotta face the other

A brick filled inbred brother

C#m A F#

It's alright she's slowing up

C#m

And I, I say

E C#m A B

Well, it's a climb back to home an a British ruck

Mum said, "Get out"

C#m A B

Who cares, it's getting tough

E C#m A B

My speeed king's back

G F# A G#

My R.A.C., my enemy
