TAAAAAKE A RAAACECAR

RACEAAAAR A KEAAAAAAT

Lyrics

Palindrome Test
[cp0]
D - F#7 - G - A7

work is hard
help is cheap
tasked me for finding
right kinda of creep

search the tubes
i looked online
still all night did i come unwound

flash of thought
light in the night
make em take the test online-

G - D - E7 - A7
take a racear
feed in the intter tubes
when it spits out
gonna read true

take a racecar
tell em to split reverse
when it comes out
it's gotta read true

D - F#7 - G - A7
h1b2 50 9 10
the writings on the wall before it ever begins
you know how it ends, you've seen it before
help me out before i'm lose my nerve

G - D - E7 - A7
racecar

give it to the them
turn it inside
when it comes out
it's gotta read true

racecar
gonna give it em
when it comes out
it's gotta read true

Bridge: Bm - F#7 - G - A7
no matter how i try to get to the top
i'm still halfway there
gotta find a way to test myself
find a way untrue
g - a7
gotta find a way back home to you

[chorus]

I whiffed on ideas for this challenge so glad to see this one. Very thought provoking and I feel like the song sections are pulled together nicely by the bridge.

Lee - this song became a whole Rohrshack (sp?) test for me. There was the move to online everything including testing when my son was in high school, the pinewood derby cars, h1b visas, the 5090, and then the love song. I like the way the narrator confidently assumes the listener know what he’s talking about and so ends up shining a flashlight in the corners of my mind.

Very cool, Lee. Your use of dynamics in the performance with all the little pauses and fades really work nicely. I like the chord progression, too. Impressive to crank this out so fast!
