A#                       C#          D#       G#
Tach it up, tach it up, buddy gonna shut you down
G#
It happened on the strip where the road is wide
G#
Two cool shorts standing side-by-side (Ya)
   C#
My fuel-injected stingray and a 413
      G#
We're revin' up our engines and it sounds real mean
A#                       C#          D#       G#
Tach it up, tach it up, buddy gonna shut you down

Declining numbers at an even rate
(Oooo moving out now)
At the count of one we both accelerate
(Oooo moving out now)
My Stingray is light the slicks are starting to spin
(Oooo moving out now)
But the four-thirteen's really digging in
(Oooo moving out now)
Got to be cool now, power shift - here we go

C#
Super stock Dodge is winding out in low but
   G#
My fuel-injected Stingray's really startin' to go
   C#
To get the traction I'm ridin' my clutch
    G#                              D#
My pressure plate's burnin' that machine's too much

Pedal's to the floor hear the dual quads drink
(Oooo pump it up now)
And now the four-thirteen's
lead is starting to shrink
(Oooo pump it up now)
He's hot with ram induction but it's understood
(Oooo pump it up now)
I got a fuel injected engine sitting under my hood
(Oooo pump it up now)

Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
Shut it off, shut it off buddy now I shut you down
