[ intro ]

E D A E

E D
mamma’s in the kitchen rattlin’ pans and the baby cries ,
A E
on the tv news , somebody died
E D
he was a crazy biker in a motorcycle ridin’ daredevil show ,
A E
in merry england , oh , twenty seven years old

E
he was tryin’ to break the record ,
D
for jumpin’ over cars , he was the champ
A E
he fell a little bit short oh , hit the ramp

E D A E

E D
this is the story , sad and it’s gory of robin winter – smith
A E
he was a very brave man if you get my drift
E
’cause he waved to the crowd , headed down the runway like
D A E
a man possessed , robin winter – smith , i guess he did his best

E D A E

E D
i make a livin’ A – playin’ these songs and i hang out in bars
A E
i play my guitar , oh but honey , i don’t jump over cars

E D
mamma’s in the kitchen rattlin’ pans and the baby cries ,
A E
on the tv news , somebody died
E D
he was a crazy biker in a motorcycle ridin’ daredevil show ,
A E
in merry england , oh , twenty seven years old
