Am              Dm
Coming over the headland
Bb
At high speed
         C         Am
With the sun at my back
Am              Dm
From the valley below me
               Bb
Carried on the breeze

Am             Em        F
The cry of the engine is calling
Am  Dm  Bb  Am
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah-

[Verse 2]
Am                  Dm
Like a ghost on the water
     Bb
That shimmers
   C          Am
In silver and red
Am              Dm
Flying over the surface
                 Bb
To the finishing line

Am       Em          F
Racing away from the shoreline
G               Am           Dm
Back there as a young lad at Brooklands
Am             Em           F
Mountains rise into the distance
G      Am            Dm
Jetsam drifts on the water

Am  Dm  Bb  Am  [x1]

[Verse 3]
Am               Dm
Driving onto the banking
   Bb
At high speed
       C       Am
On the 50 foot line
Am             Dm
The cry of the engines
                Bb
The roar of the crowd

    Am             Em
The hammer strikes sound
           F
In the workshops
    G               Am            Dm
The smell of burned oil fills the air
  Am            Em
I rode there on two wheels
          F
Came back with four
G             Dm           C      F
I said all my words on the racing line

C   F   [x1]

[Pre-Chorus]
C                       F
She watched me from the half-crown
C                     F
And from the measured mile
C               Dm
Race the fading light

[Chorus]
Dm      Am           Em
I was a lucky man, a lucky man
Dm        Am
I did the things I can
    Em
The things I can't explain

C   F   [x2]

[Pre-Chorus]
C             F
On the racing line
C             F
Lived life at high speed
C            Dm
Too fast too far

[Chorus]
Dm      Am           Em
I was a lucky man, a lucky man
Dm        Am
I did the best I can
    Em
I'd do it all again
     Dm        Am           Em
But where did all the time go?
Em
I was a lucky man.
     Dm        Am           Em
But where did all the time go?
Em
I was a lucky man.
     Dm        Am           Em
But where did all the time go?
Em       Cm     Ab     F
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey!

[Verse 4]
Am              Dm
Coming over the headland

At high speed

The sun at my back

The cry of the engines

Mountains rise into the distance

Jetsam adrift on the water

I did the things I can

The things I can't explain
    Dm        Am           Em
But where did all the time go?
Dm           F
Just give me one more run
       Em
On the racing line

[Outro]

One more time
Dm7 F7   Em7
One last time
