Capo: 5 Tuning: E A D G B E
The Ride By Chris Ledoux Tabbed By Daniel Owens Capo 5 [Verse]
GI was six years old, my brother was ten Dsus2/F#One July day came running in, Cseen a ferris wheel at the edge of town CSo, of course, we headed on down
GWell it took us an hour to walk that far Dsus2/F#Carrying our fortune in a Mason jar CIt was all pretty sad, a cheap county fair CWith a few old rides but there was ponies there
GWell, the ponies stunk and the air was still Dsus2/F#In that dusty circle behind the ferris wheel CThis old guy smelling of smoke and rum CSwung me up and sat me down on one
GWell I'd never rode a horse but I'd seen it done Dsus2/F#Cowboy movies made it look like fun CThis old man whispered a few soft words CIt was the best advice I've ever heard
[Chorus]
He said "Sit Ctall in the saddle, Hold your head up Ghigh Keep your eyes Dfixed where the trail meets the Gsky And Clive like you ain't afraid to Gdie And don't be Dscared, just enjoy your Gride"
GI went up a kid with shaking hands Dsus2/F#And I came down a full grown man CIt was like he'd cast some Voodoo spell CThings were different for me now, I could tell
G'Cos whenever troubles come wandering in Dsus2/F#His rhyme would pop in my head again CAnd somehow I rode through the needles and nails CBrambles and thorns that life entails
[Chorus]
He said "Sit Ctall in the saddle, Hold your head up Ghigh Keep your eyes Dfixed where the trail meets the Gsky And Clive like you ain't afraid to Gdie And don't be Dscared, just enjoy your Gride"
GWell I know some day farther down the road Dsus2/F#I'll come to the edge of the great unknown CThere'll stand a black horse riderless CAnd I wonder if I'm ready for this
GSo I'll saddle him up and he'll switch his tail Dsus2/F#And I'll tip my hat and bid fairwell CAnd lift my song into the air CThat I learned at that dusty fair
[Chorus]
He said "Sit Ctall in the saddle, Hold your head up Ghigh Keep your eyes Dfixed where the trail meets the Gsky And Clive like you ain't afraid to Gdie And don't be Dscared, just enjoy your Gride" Now don't be Dscared, just enjoy your Gride
