Rush - Red Barchetta: Guitar Chords

   A
My uncle has a country place
     F#m
That no one knows about.
    G
He says it used to be a farm
   A
Before the motor law.
        A
And on Sundays I elude the eyes
    F#m
And hop the turbine freight
    G
To far outside the wire
           D
Where my whitehaired uncle waits.

Chorus:
 A            D
Jump to the ground
        A      D               A         D
as the turbo slows across the border line.
 A            D
Run like the wind
      A         D             A         D
as excitement shivers up and down my spine.
 F           C
Down in his barn
   F         C               F       C
my uncle preserved for me an old machine
     F         G
For fifty odd years,
    F      C   F      C         F        C
to keep it as new has been his dearest dream.

I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better, vanished time
We fire up the willing engine
Responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel
I commit my weekly crime

D
Wind in my hair,
Shifting and drifting Mechanical music,
Adrenaline surge,

A#              F            A#       F
Well weathered leather, hot metal and oil.
     C#      G#         C# G#
The scented country air,
 E             B
Sunlight on chrome,
      E          B         G      D      G
The blur of the landscape, every nerve aware.

Suddenly ahead of me
Across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air-car
Shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires
To run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley
As another joins the chase

Chorus:
Drive like the wind
Straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud with fear and hope
I've got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge
I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm
To dream with my uncle at the fireside
