The Ballad of Wendell Scott - Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper

Tabbed by Adam Bishop

A - x02220
D - xx0232
E - 022100

Intro:

This is played extremely fast, faster than I can actually play it,
so this is not exactly right.  It sounds okay when I'm playing as
fast as I can though...

A (shuffle)

(Shuffle chords)
     A               D
Well I heard Wendell late last night
A                     E
Screaming down the (???)
A               D
Goes around and around it tight (?)
A              E          A
Must have been carrying a load (?)

(Chords)
Well the sheriff and G-men waiting for him
At the Carolina line
Wendell shifted gears while on the run (?)
Shot up through the pines

     D               A
Well Wendell Wendell Wendell Scott
E                A
Drove so fast he couldn't stop
D               A
Wendell Wendell he's the man
         E         D       A
He's the stock car driving man

Gonna look in the mirror (???)
(???)
Painted number 34 on his door
Make a big noise throughout the south

But because he was black they said Wendell get back
Bow you shouldn't even try
They were mighty surprised when they with their eyes
Wendell was passing them by

It was a Monsdale Reedsville Danville dirt track (?)
Wendell tearing them wild (?)
Now the sponsors owe a whole lot of money (?)
Sure did make us proud

Chorus

Repeat intro

Oh 90 miles and hour back on old 97 (?)
The tires are starting to scream
Richard Petty can handle all of those guys (?)
Thought they was in a dream

But way up ahead underneath the checkered flag
Stood the man of the hour
Wendell Wendeel he done won (?)
Stock car driving power

Chorus

He's a stock car driving man
He's a stock car driving man

He's a stock car driving man

End on A

Wendell, whoo
