The Fast Car Songfacts says: When the then unknown Tracy Chapman was booked to appear down the bill at the Nelson Mandela birthday concert at Wembley Stadium on June 11th 1988, little did she know her appearance would be the catalyst for a career breakthrough. After performing several songs from her self titled debut during the afternoon, Chapman thought she'd done her bit and could relax and enjoy the rest of the concert. However, later in the evening Stevie Wonder was delayed when the computer discs for his performance went missing, and Chapman was ushered back onto stage again.

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Cmaj7          G
You got a fast car.
Em                 D
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Cmaj7           G
Maybe we make a deal,
Em                    D
Maybe together we can get somewhere.
Cmaj7        G
Any place is better.
Em                      D
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose.
Cmaj7            G
Maybe we'll make something,
Em               D     
Me myself, I got nothing to prove.

Cmaj7 G  Em D X2

Cmaj7          G
You got a fast car.
Em              D
I got a plan to get us out of here:
Cmaj7                 G
I been working at the convenience store,
Em                     D
Managed to save just a little bit of money.
Cmaj7                   G
Won't have to drive too far
Em                         D
Just 'cross the border and into the city, 
Cmaj7         G
You and I can both get jobs
    Em                  D
And finally see what it means to be living.

Cmaj7 G  Em D X2

         Cmaj7              G
You see, my old man's got a problem:
   Em                               D
He live with the bottle, that s the way it is.
   Cmaj7                       G
He says his body's too old for working,
    Em                  D
His body's too young to look like his.
   Cmaj7             G             Em                         D
My mama went off and left him, she wanted more from life than he could give,
         Cmaj7                  G
I said, "Somebody's got to take care of him."
   Em                       D
So I quit school and that's what I did.

Cmaj7 G  Em D X2

Cmaj7          G
You got a fast car.
          Em                    D
But is it fast enough so we can fly away?
Cmaj7             G
We gotta make a decision:
Em                        D
Leave tonight or live and die this way.

Cmaj7 G  Em D X2
 
G    Em     D             C                G
So remember when: we were driving, driving in your car,
    C                         G
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
Em                    C
City lights lay out before us
         Em                     D
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder. 
    C Em      D

Cmaj7                  G
I know things will get better:

You'll find work and I'll get promoted, 
Cmaj7                 G

You see more your friends than you do your kids.
Cmaj7                G
I'd always hoped for better,
Em                     D
Thought maybe together you and me would find it,

The following comment has been added to your tab : 'The main riff is Cmaj7, C, Cmaj7, G5 instead of just Cmaj7 and G. This way you play the melody on the first string (A string) by playing 2, 3, 2, 5 with the chords'

Como intro:
Desnudar el sin razón
que modelo nuestras vidas
Parece ser causa perdida.

Nadie apuesta detener
el motor que contamina
el aire que a diario respiras

Am
Y que respiraste ayer,
Como intro
y que mañana tal vez, no lo sé.
Por eso hoy

Am
Reflexionando en esto,

la madrugada pasó,

y dejó otro día para ser.

Pronucleares informistas modelan la situación.
Más tecnología, por más energía.
Fuga radiactiva de progreso.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear

Donde hay numeros en vez de acordes es porque no se
como se llaman esos acordes y pongo abajo como se hacen




F9/A Cm
Ya no sé donde fue,
F9/A C
con su luz tu verdad,
F9/A Cm
avanzar y no avanzar,
1 G
que loco remolino,

ya no ves . . .

ya no ves . . .

la maldad que hay allí . . .

solo estás en tu cruz,

oh déjame explorarte,
F4 C
solo extiéndete una vez más . . .
F4 C
extiéndete una vez más . . .

la canción de la sed,

como el agua se nos fue . . .

líbrame . . .

Oh! líbrame . . .

Líbrame de la galaxia

ya no ves . . .

ya no ves

lo que ya sé nos pasó

respirar y oxidar,

y olvidarse y no fumar . . .

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

exiténdete una vez más . . .

extiendete una vez más

extiendete una vez más

Nota: C B y
Am 2
eres mi esperanza
Am 3
solo una grieta en mi existir . . .
4
no somos solo hombres
5 6 7
y como fondo un cielo.

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe,

tal vez

me sentirás tal vez

me sentirás

las aguas en tus ojos

vibran su dulce brillo

una piel y una flor

son tus pechos,

que no piensan menos mal,

oh por favor,

gira loca girasol . . .

déjame como estoy,

ya te amé y allí morí,

quédate quédate oh!

déjame explicarte,

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

extiéndete una vez más . . .

eres mi esperanza,

solo una grieta en mi existir . . .

no somos solo cuerpos,

y como un fondo un cielo . . .

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe

tal vez me sentirás

tal vez me sentirás

Andar

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.
