From https://www.rukind.com/gdpedia/titles/view/183 [Intro] B x16 E B [Verse]
           E             Em           B
Well I was drinkin' last night with a biker

      E            Em         B
And I showed him a picture of you

         E          A
I said, "Pal get to know her, you'll like her

                A       Bb    B
Seemed like the least I could do.

      E         Em           B
Cause when he's chargin' his chopper

       E         Em       B
Up and down your carpeted halls

         E           A
You will think it by contrast quite proper

      A                  Bb  B
Never mind how I stumble and fall.

      A                      B
Never mind how I stumble and fall.
[Chorus]
     F#
You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot

    A             D  A    A B/A
For taste of your elegant pride

         E        Em        B
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe

       E           Em         B
But at least I'm enjoyin' the ride,

   E           Em         B
At least I'm enjoyin' the ride.

         A                      B
Yeah, at least I'm enjoyin' the ride.
[Solo] B x8 [Verse]
        E             Em           B
Now miss sweet little soft-core pretender

        E                Em           B
Somehow baby, it got as hard as it gets

         E          A                          B
With her black leather chrome spiked suspenders

    A                           B
Her chair, and her whip and her pets.

        E             Em           B
Well we know you're the reincarnation

       E        Em            B
Of the ravenous Catherine the Great

       E             A                      B
And we know how you love your ovations

    A                      B
For the Z-rated scenes you create.

    E                  B
The Z-rated scenes you create.
[Chorus]
    F#
You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot

    A             D  A    A B/A
For taste of your elegant pride

         E        Em        B
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe

   E           Em         B
At least I'm enjoyin' the ride.

         A                      B
Yeah, at least I'm enjoyin' the ride.
[Bridge]
F#     C#         E
You analyze me, pretend to despise me

                A            G#   A
You laugh when I stumble and fall

      E          Em              B
There may come a day when I will dance on your grave

      E            Em         B
If unable to dance I'll still crawl across it

  E       Em               B
Unable to dance I'll still crawl

  A                  B
Unable to dance I'll crawl.
[Solo] B x16 E B [Verse]
  E       Em               B
You must really consider the circus

  E       Em               B
It just might be your kind of zoo

        E          A                 B
I can't think of a place that's more perfect

      A                    B
For a person as perfect as you.

  E       Em               B
And it's not like I'm leaving you lonely

  E       Em               B
Cause I wouldn't know where to begin

        E          A                 B
Well I know that you'll think of me only

  E       Em               B
When the snakes come marching in.

  E       Em               B
When the snakes come marching in.
[Chorus]
    F#
You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot

    A             D  A    A B/A
For taste of your elegant pride

         E        Em        B
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe

         E        Em        B
At least I'm enjoyin' the ride.

         E        Em        B
At least I'm enjoyin' the ride.

E        Em        B
Ride, ride, ride, ride

E        Em        B
At least I'm enjoyin' the ride.

E        Em        B
Ride, ride, ride ride

E        Em        B
At least I'm enjoyin' the ride.

E        Em        B
Ride, ride

E        Em        B
At least I'm enjoyin' the ride.

E        Em        B
Ride, ride

E        Em        B
At least I'm enjoyin' the ride.

E        Em        B
Ride ride ride

E        Em        B
At least I'm enjoyin' the ride.
