and repeat 1X starting with open 6th string
C
Tank is full, switch is on
Am7
Night is warm, cops are gone
F+9
Rocket bike is all her own
G
It's called a hurricane
C
She told me once it's quite a ride
Am7
It's shaped so there's this place inside
F+9
Where if you're moving you can hide
G
Safe within the rain
Chorus
F+9 Em6
She wants to run away
G C
But there's nowhere that she can go
F+9 Em6 D9sus4
Nowhere the pain won't come again
F+9 Em6
But she can hide
G C
Hide in the pouring rain
F+9 G C
She rides the eye of the hurricane
F+9 G
Tell the truth, explain to me
How you got this need for speed
She laughed and said "it might just be
The next best thing to love."
Hope is gone and she confessed
When you lay your dream to rest
You can get what's second best
But it's hard to get enough
chorus
Bridge
Am7 G F+9
We saw her ride so fast last night
Am7 G F+9 G
Racing by a flash of light
Riding quick, the street was dark
A shining truck she thought was parked
It blocked her path, stopped her heart
But not the hurricane
She saw her chance to slip the trap
There was just the room to pass in back
But then it moved, closed the gap
She never felt the pain
Chorus
coda
F+9 G C
She rides the eye of a hurricane
C Am7 F+9 G C C

I have tried to use "standard" notation. In the chord shapes, "x" means
don't play that string. In the tab, "h" means hammer on, "p" means pull
off, "\" slide down, "/" slide up.
You can easily get away with just strumming the chords after the intro.
The coda is left as an excercise for the reader (meaning of course that
I haven't done it yet). :->
If you find any errors, let me know.

ps - I am working on Burgandy Heart Shaped Medallion now, but I am using
a different tuning than David does. I will try to transcribe it to his
and post it when I'm done.
