Alistair Griffin - Just Drive (YouTube Video)

Lyrics: (I did this by ear, so there might be some errors.)

There is a star the lights the road.
Will it take me to the end, well I don't know.
For one, last, time. I take, this, ride.
Just drive.

I want to be the only one, to look into the light.
Take it to the edge, alright, I died a thousand times.
Maybe I could be the one, to ride into setting sun, tonight.
Just drive.

Breathing out, I'm breathing out.
Broken down, but I will live to fight again.
For one, last, time. I take, this, ride.
Just drive.

I want to be the only one, to look into the light.
Take it to the edge, alright, I died a thousand times.
Maybe I could be the one, to ride into setting sun, tonight.
Just drive.

There is a star the lights the road.
Will it take me to the end, well I don't know.

I want to be the only one, to look into the light.
Take it to the edge, alright, I died a thousand times.
Maybe I could be the one, to ride into setting sun, tonight.
Just drive.

Great song and a brilliant ending to the season on the BBC. Looking at the comments on iTunes I can see this song getting into the top 10, maybe number one by Christmas.

Not a big fan of the music either, but when you see what sort of film they can put together with real footage, you wonder why on earth they still use those awful graphics for the intro.

Is it just me or does the song remind you of feeling a moment by Feeder?

Singapore drift
Imo last's year BBC End Credit was a lot of better...

I only just managed to stay until the end of the race so missed the credits. Good video and the song fitted but the song isn't great. It isn't bad I just don't think its anything special.

This season overall has probably been the best for years and its because there are more than 2 good teams now, here's to an even better 2011

Here, here!

Alternative version of BBC "Endtro"
Beats original one

The first few notes sound exactly the same as the Take That song from a while ago, when it was on TV I muted it when I heard the very start of it assuming it was Take That.

Great video and song!

This is how I heard it I'm not a native speaker, so I can be wrong, though.

Breathing out, (I'm / and) breathing in.
Broken down, but I will live to fight again.

They should go old school with the intro...it did a better job at pumping the fans up for the race back then.

Are there any guitarists on here that are able to tab this out by ear?
It would be appreciated!

If not I'll take it to a music forum....

If you do get an answer, please post it back here. I'd love to learn it.

I've had a go, and whilst the chorus is iffy, i think i've nailed the verses.

Capo on 3 to play along with the recording.

Intro (play twice):

e}--------------------------------------
B}-----3--------3----------3-------3----
G}---0---0----0---0-----2----2--2---3--
D}--------------------0-----------------
A}-3--------2---------------------------
E}--------------------------------------

Verse (play 4 times):

e}--------------------------------------
B}-----3--------3----------3-------3----
G}---0---0----0---0-----2----2--2---3--
D}--------------------0-----------------
A}-3--------2---------------------------
E}--------------------------------------

At the end of the 4th cycle, in the lead up to the chorus, strum the middle 4 strings, still on 000230 (E --> e)

Chorus (strum the following chords)

C (X32030)
E minor (022030)
G (320030)
D (XX0230)

For the chorus, cycle through these chords 3 times, then on the 4th, omit the G and go straight from Em to D (so strum D for the duration you'd normally strum G and D).

For the "and just drive" at the end of the chorus, start the fingerpicking again.

---------------------

As i said, i'm dubious about the chorus, but i think the verse is pretty much right. Just signed up to post this, as i saw the song on the F1 end credits and wanted to learn it myself, but couldn't find it tabbed anywhere! Hope it helps!

Nice man!
Thanks you loads.

Awesome, these clips can always lift an under average season to much higher level.
