OK, I got this the usual way, by listening to the CD over and over and over
again... So, obviously, this is not perfect. Please e-mail me with
corrections, and anything you can come up with for the rhythm guitar. Thanks.
Generally,
Intro: hammers
Hi E|--6--7--6--4--6--7--6--4--|
|--------------------------|
or
Hi E|--5--6--5--3--5--6--5--3--|
|--------------------------|
I'm not sure. Repeat as required. Slide into rhythm (bottom string or two,
slower on one guitar than the other)
For the rhythm guitar, I don't know what they play, so until someone e-mails
me corrections (afanti@soc.umass.edu), here's what I'm playing:
Rhythm chords:

I'm also not sure what's going on at the end.
Here are the words (you got 'em if you got the CD):
Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer, he's a demon on wheels
He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone
He's gainin' on you so you better look alive
He's busy revin' up a powerful Mach 5
And when the odds are against him and there's dangerous work (to do)
You bet your life Speed Racer will see it through
Chorus: Go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer, go.
He's off and flyin' as he guns the car around the track
He's jammin' down the pedal like he's never comin' back
Adventure's waitin' just ahead
Chorus
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SPONGE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
