[Verse 1]
       A
Well I come from West Virginia and the day that I was born
A
Hit the ground running like a wind and I was gone
      A
I was faster than a rabbit and I left the deer behind
        A
And the mountains couldn't hold me so I headed down the line
D
Got to California and joined up with Uncle Sam
           A
Said "I've come to halt the Nazis I'm a mighty mighty man"
     D
They couldn't hold me down
        G
So they taught me how to fly
          A
Then they shipped me 'cross the ocean
            E            A
Now I'm the fastest man alive

[Verse 2]
   A
My name's Charles Elwood Yeager, everybody called me Chuck
      A
I'm a bone stick and rudder mother brother sure enough
      A
I was all that they could handle
          A
till they shot me down in France
       A
Then I swam across the Channel just to get another chance
D
When the war was over, pinned a medal on my chest
     A
Then sent me to an airfield in the desert way out west
     D                             G
Said "Someone got an airplane everybody's scared to fly"
     A                            E            A
Said "Bubba let me at her I'm the fastest man alive.”

[Verse 3]
         A
Well she looked like she was flying
          A
'Fore she ever left the ground
      A
So we strapped to her to a bomber and we took a spin around
      A
Said "Boys all call her Glennis. She’s the one I love the best.”
A
What you say we put her aerodynamics to a test?"
        D
We were high above the desert when we let the sucker drop
        A
When we lit that Roman candle boy you should've heard her pop
  D                                   G
It shook the mighty mountains when we crossed that sonic line
A                                   E            A
Seven hundred miles an hour I'm the fastest man alive

[Verse 4]
      A
I'm a lover, I'm a fighter, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
      A
I'm a mover, I'm a shaker. Ask your mother if I ain’t
        A
I'm the rumble with the thunder. I'm the bolt out of the blue
        A
I'm the master of the stratosphere, a pilot tried and true
    D
My name's Charles Elwood Yeager and I've been everywhere
A
Paris, London, Timbuktu and Dover, Delaware
      D                        G
Ended up in California. That's where I'm gonna die
  A                               E           A
I come from West Virgina. I'm the fastest man alive
        E            A
I'm the fastest man alive
    E            A
The fastest man alive
    E            A
The fastest man alive
