Am
Moving like the fog on the Cumberland River
      Fmaj7                 C  
I was leaving on the Delta Queen
      Fmaj7   C        G
And I wasn't ready to go
Fmaj7      C        G
I'm never ready to go

Am
27 years of nothing but failures
       Fmaj7                  C  
and promises that I couldn't keep, Oh Lord
    Fmaj7     C        G
and I wasn't ready to go
Fmaj7      C        G
I'm never ready to go

       Am
Let it ride
            Fmaj7  C        G
Let it ride easy  down the road
       Am
Let it ride
            Fmaj7     C      G
Let it take away all of the darkness
       Am
Let it ride
               Fmaj7   C       G         C  
Let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels
Fmaj7
Until it brings me home
Fmaj7 			          Am
Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go

Am7    Am7    Am7   Fmaj7  C   (x2)

Am
Loaded like a sailor tumbling off a ferryboat
Fmaj7                  C  
I was at the bar till three, Oh Lord
    Fmaj7     C        G
and I wasn't ready to go
Fmaj7      C        G
I'm never ready to go

Am
Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina
      Fmaj7                 C  
Where they were gonna bury me
    Fmaj7    C        G
and I ain't ready to go
Fmaj7      C        G
I'm never ready to go

       Am
Let it ride
            Fmaj7  C        G
Let it ride easy  down the road
       Am
Let it ride
            Fmaj7     C      G
Let it take away all of the darkness
       Am
Let it ride
               Fmaj7   C       G         C  
Let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels
Fmaj7
Until it brings me home
Fmaj7 			          Am
Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go

Am7    Am7    Am7   Fmaj7  C  (x2)

Fmaj7
I wanna see you tonight
Fmaj7
Dancing in the endless moonlight
C                       G
In a parking lot in the headlights of cars
Fmaj7
Some place on the moon
Fmaj7
Where they moved the drive-in theatre
C  
Where I left the car that I can't find
    G
but I still got the keys to

       Am
Let it ride
            Fmaj7  C        G
Let it ride easy  down the road
       Am
Let it ride
            Fmaj7     C      G
Let it take away all of the darkness
       Am
Let it ride
               Fmaj7   C       G         C  
Let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels
Fmaj7
Until it brings me home
Fmaj7 			          Am
Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go
