On the recording, the INTRO is played on a mandolin. The chords are A and E so,
if you have an electric guitar, you could play at the 12th fret to keep
in a high register. Unfortunately, with an acoustic, you don't have much room
to fret up there so you'll need another arrangement. Timing is 4/4.

VERSE:
Chords:
Sitting in a ragtop car with you
Feels like my freedom is a passport,
Shining bright inside the pocket
Deep inside of my soul
You and me together gonna take on the world
So look out 'cause we're coming on strong
And the world is our oyster
We can drink on them to victory
Though there are many obstacles ahead
We will not give up 'til we are dead
pHORUS starts on the O
CHORUS:
Chords:
Two souls together, sitting in a ragtop car
I believe we're bound for glory
Everybody knows the same old story
Keep the rain behind you and the sun straight up ahead
pxVRS starts on INTRO
VERSE:
Chords:
Seeing all the colours of the rainbow
I done told my friends goodbye
I made love with my man for the very last time
Changing up the switches on the radio
I didn't dream I'd make it this far
Now I'm flying down the highway, my way,
Two fingers in the air
Though there are many obstacles ahead
We will not give up 'til we are dead
pHORUS starts on the O
rx2eat HORUS
BRIDGE:
Chords:
Oooooh, oooooh, oooooh, there is no happy ending
Oooooh, oooooh, oooooh,
they'll leave no goodbye-eyes
repeat HORUS but sing "a cappella"
repeat HORUS with accompaniment
Just keep the rain behind you and the sun straight up ahead
