Let It Ride

[Verso 1]
 
Am 
Moving like a fog on the Cumberland River 
         G                C 
I was leaving on the Delta Queen 
       F       C       G 
I wasn't ready to go 
F           C        G 
I'm never ready to go 

Am 
27 Years of nothing but failures 
       G                        C 
and promises that I couldn't keep, oh Lord 
      F       C       G 
And I wasn't ready to go 
F           C        G 
I'm never ready to go 
 


[Refrão]
 
        Am 
Let it ride 
             F     C        G 
Let it ride, easy down the road 
        Am 
Let it ride 
 F       C             G 
let it take away all of the darkness 
        Am 
Let it ride 
               F       C              G 
Let it rock me in the arms of stranger's angels 
  F 
Until it brings me home 
  F                              Am     C  G 
Let it ride, let it roll, let it go 
  F                              Am     C  G 
Let it ride, let it roll, let it go 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Am 
Loaded like a sailor tumbling off a ferry boat 
          G             C 
I was at the bar 'til three, oh Lord 
       F       C       G 
And I wasn't ready to go 
F           C        G 
I'm never ready to go 

Am 
Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina 
         G                C 
Where are they gonna bury me 
       F       C       G 
And I wasn't ready to go 
F           C        G 
I'm never ready to go

Until it brings me home 
  F                              Am     C  G

Let it ride, let it roll, let it go 
 


[Verso 3]
 
F 
I wanna see you tonight 
F 
Dancing in the endless moonlight 
C                  G 
In a parking lot, in the headlights of cars 
F 
Some place on the moon 
F 
Where they moved the drive-in theatres 
C 
Where I left my car that I cant find 
    G 
But I still got the keys to...
