3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds chords by Jefferson Airplane

"3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds" is a psychedelic rock song by the band Jefferson Airplane. It was written by Marty Balin after he recalled "just looking in the newspaper at the sports section and seeing 'three-fifths of a mile', and somewhere else on the page, 'ten seconds'. And I combined the two in a sudden flash." The song appeared on the album Surrealistic Pillow. The song also contains a reference to marijuana; "Real clean, real fine nicotine. Sometimes the price is 65 dollars, prices like that make a grown man holler; 'specially when it's sold by a kid who's only 15." 3/5 of a mile in ten seconds is 216 mph (347.6 kph).
