Beautiful Ride

Chords

Standard

C               Em
Now that I have lived
  F                   G
A lifetime's worth of days
C         Em
Finally I see
    F           G
The folly of my ways

# G-string: 0--0--2--4
 
   C             Em
So listen when I sing of
    F                   G
The temptations of this world
C              Em
Fancy cars and needles
F                 G
Whisky, flesh and pearls
    F           G
And then in the end
     C          F
It's family and friends
F          G
Loving yourself
    Em           F
But not only yourself
              F
Its about the good walk
        G
And the hard walk
        Em                      F
And the young girls you've made cry
                                                        G
It's about make a little music everyday 'til you di-ie

# (Chorus)

                 C                Em
It's a beautiful ride (Beautifull ride)
          Gm               F 
Beautiful Ri-de (Beautiful ride)
Abm       G          C
Beautiful beautifull ride



     C                         Em
As I stand on the precipice of death
   F              G
My perspective is enormous
      C           Em
Every leaf, every cloud
          F                G
I see the hands which have formed us
    C                 Em
And some days all you got
     F                   G
Is a nighttime graveyard walk
        C                  Em
And you whistle some sweet melody
       F                  D
To the ghosts down at the dock

# (Bridge)

E               Abm
Sing in to your hand
A                 B
Lead the marching band
E                Abm      A       B        
Dont you let 'em fade your colors gray
            E               Abm     
'Cause when all is said and done
     A                  B
When youth is spent and burned
       E             Abm  
You'll see that it's all about

A # (this is were he lists everything)
Music!
Flowers!
Babies!
Sharing the good times!
Traveling not just for business!
Excepting your mortality!
A                         B
This is finally what I've learned!

    A           B
And then in the end
     E          A
It's family and friends
A      B
Loving yourself
        Ab       A
But not only yourself
               A
It's about the good walk
        B
And the hard walk
       E                        A
And the young girls you've made cry
           A                                           B
It's about make a little music everyday 'til you di-ie

# (Chorus)
                 E               Abm
It's a beautiful ride (Beautifull ride)
