F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E
[Verse 1]
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E5
Wanna bark a saga of the night the bikes went wild.
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E5
Four husky gladiators suited up for a war self styled.
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E5
The Interceptor, Ninja and 1100 primed to score
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E
But me and my Suzuki knew we had so much more.
[Chorus]
C D E
They thought it would be just another clandestine late night road rally.
C D
But it was the WAR OF THE SUPERBIKES.
E C D
Red hot pipes and rumbling high tech power plants inch up to the starting line,
E
But when the dust cleared up on Devil's Backbone,
C D E
One man/one bike/one dream would scream across the finish line.
[Interlude]
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E
[Verse 2]
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E5
I layed it down into turn one, cranked down full bore.
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E5
With my air-cooled transverse in-line Four Stroke Four.
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E5
I knew the 1100 was the man to burn.
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E5
I ruled the straightaways, he had me in the turns.
[Chorus]
C D
As they blasted out of the high bank
E
The Ninja smoked a clutch
C
"Only two to beat," he thought
D E
As he laid it down to those greasy 'S' turns
C D E C
In the distance those oversized Japanese leg burners sounded like some sort of mutated gigantic insects.
D E
Three men on monster machines SHOT OUT OF GOD'S SLINGSHOT!
[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E5
The interceptor faded as we hit the hill W. F. O.
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E5
All I had to do was hold on, seven miles to go.
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E5
There were red lights flashing, the cops were gaining fast
F#5 D5 C#5 A5 E5
In our high-powered way awesome road-smoking 12 mile dash.
[Chorus]
C D E
The FJ1100 made his move on the inside
C D
As the speedometer bounced over the 100 mile-per-hour mark
E
But he got a little too deep in the curve,
C D
And didn't see the pothole.
E C
All he saw was a burning, hurtling ball of death
D
As he blasted off into the cool night air.
E
Just him and his GS 1150.
[Outro]
C D E
(no lyric)
C D E
It's the WAR OF THE SUPERBIKES
C D E
It's the WAR OF THE SUPERBIKES
C D E E
It's the WAR OF THE SUPERBIKES
