(bass enters on 1 beat of following chords):

You know my tape deck is blastin'
    G/A
My car's fast

Verse 1:

       A   [12-string alternates xx7650 and xx7670]
When school lets out and the summer's here
                G/A   [12-string alternates xx5430 and xx5450]
We'll have some time for the sun
          A
Throw my notebooks out and put my car in gear
         G/A
We'll be having some fun

Chorus:

          D
Drivin' around (long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
                A7
Oooh, drivin' around (long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
             Bm            E
You know my tape deck is blastin'
    G/A
My car's fast

Verse 2:

With my girl by my side, we can go for a ride
And find a place we can dance
When it get real dark, we can stop in the park
And have a back seat romance

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

D E F#
/ / I'll be waiting all through the year
        Bm
Just to get you alone with nobody near
      D/E                    E
Baby don't be late 'cause I just can't wait
      G/A               A
All I wanna do is make love to you

[guitar solo over chorus chords]

[repeat verse 2]

[repeat chorus]

[repeat chorus; pause on "my car's fast"]

Coda (repeat to fade):

                     D
I'm drivin' around (long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
           A7
Drivin' around (long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
