[Verse 1]
       D
He was born in North Carolina
C
49 years ago
  G               C
A rebel boy whose greatest joy
            G                      D
Was burning rubber down an old backroad
     D
In a big block break-away Chevrolet
    C
The local boys feared to drag
            G                    C
'cause they knew ol' Dale would give it hell
   G                        D
To capture that checkered flag
 
 
[Verse 2]
         D
Well, he dreamed at night of NASCAR
      C
Had a vision of victory lane
       G                    C
And he paid his dues in the dust and sweat
       G                 D
Just a-making himself a name
D
Some called him a danger
C
Others called him a saint
    G                         C
One thing's for sure, he'd be gone in a blur
       G                    D
And he didn't mind trading paint
 
 
[Chorus]
           G                     D
Well, they called him the Intimidator
     G                                          A
He's one of a kind and there'll never be an imitator
      D                              C
He'll always be the greatest and his fans will all agree
G             C         G           D
Number 3 will always be number 1 to me

[Verse 3]
            D
You know he won his first in Bristol
     C
Talladega then Rockingham
       G                               C
And he showed us all, when you put the pedal to the metal
   G                    D
It separates boys from men
 D
"Gentlemen, start your engines"
    C
Was all it took for him to hear
          G                     C
Then he'd give us that grin and slip on his shades
        G                     D
And the crowd went wild and cheered
 
 
[Verse 4]
        D
We were watching him in Daytona
      C
As he rounded the final bend
       G                    C
And he lost his life on the last left turn
G                            D
Trying to give his team the win
            D
There could only be one reason
C
He's not still alive
      G   
God's sponsoring a race car
          
That only Dale Earnhardt could drive
 
 
[Chorus]
           G                     D
Well, they called him the Intimidator
     G                                          A
He's one of a kind and there'll never be an imitator
      D                              C
He'll always be the greatest and his fans will all agree
G             C         G           D
Number 3 will always be number 1 to me
       G             C         G            D
I said number 3 will always be number 1 to me
