Key: C

Introduction:

C                                                                         G7                                      C  
He came speeding through the town each day at sundown
                                                                F                            C  
And his car was painted candy apple red
                  F                                                                                      C  
He was coming there to see the sheriff's daughter
                                                                                                        G7  
And the sheriff didn't know it so they said
                        C                                    G7                                                      C  
Time and time again the sheriff tried to catch him
                                                          F                         C  
But he always speeded up and got away
                        F                                                                            C  
That old county jail stood patiently a waiting
                                                                        G7                                            C  
And the sheriff vowed he'd put him there some day
                                          F                                                         C  
Well there goes candy apple red that's what the people said
                G7                                                                              F                              C  
If he doesn't slow it down a bit he's gonna end up dead
                     F                                                                            C  
And the sheriff's daughter said she'd rather end up dead
                     G7                                                                      C  
Than to live without her candy apple red
                                                             G7                                            C  
So the sheriff built a barricade to catch him
                                                                F                                 C  
And he sat there at the limits of the town
                     F                                                                              C  
But the sheriff's daughter had already met him
                                                                                                          G7  
And had married him before the sun went down
                        C                                      G7                                    C  
When the sheriff saw him coming down the highway
                                                                                F                                              C  
He saw they couldn't stop and quickly caught his breath
                     F                                                                            C  
As they crashed the barricade the car exploded
                                                        G7                                         C  
And the boy and girl went to a flaming death
                                          F                                                         C  
Well there goes candy apple red that's what the people said
                G7                                                                              F                              C  
If he doesn't slow it down a bit he's gonna end up dead
                     F                                                                            C  
And the sheriff's daughter said she'd rather end up dead
                     G7                                                                      C  
Than to live without her candy apple red
