Oh very young what will you leave us this time  
                      E7     A                   D  
You're only dancing on this earth for a short while  
                                       E  
and though your dreams may toss and turn you now  
            A        D              A  
they will vanish away like your Dad's best jeans demin blue.  
D        A         D  
fading up to the sky   
                 A                   A7/C#        D     B    E  
and though you want him to last for ever you know he never will.  
           
you know he never will,  
                              E7/G#       A  
and the patches make the Goodbye harder still.

                             A                    D  
There'll never be a better chance to change your mind  
                                E  
and if you want this world to see a better day  
            A           D       A  
will you carry the words of love with you   
             D                  A          D  
will you ride the great white bird into heaven  
                 A                   A7/C#     D    B     E  
and though you want to last for ever you know you never will.  
           
you know you never will,  
                               E7/G#       A  
and the goodbye makes the journey harder still.

will you ride
