--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Paddy McAloon Recorded in 1992 From: "Let’s Change the World With Music" (2009) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard The changes in the verses are actually the same as in intro and solo. I still chose to name them differently to indicate the different voicings when playing alone. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS/SPECIAL VOICINGS Use the voicings on the higher frets to emphasize the riff-like character of these parts. The lower voicings sound good in the verses, because they do not detract from the singing.

  D/A   Am7             A7sus4
I look around me, and I see

      D6/A                      D/A        Am7
Folks leading more constructive lives than me

D/A         Am7          A7sus4
They don't do this for reward,

         D6/A                     D/A      Am7
They are walking in the footsteps of their Lord

    D/A     Am7                  A7sus4
And for themselves, they make no claims

         D6/A                     D/A        Am7
They may die without the world knowing their names
[Chorus]
    D         Em    D
But they will ride, ride,

Cmaj7                     D
Home to Jesus, heads held high,

          Em    D
They will ride, ride,

Cmaj7                     D
Home to Jesus, heads held high,

          Em    D
They will ride, ride,

Cmaj7
Home to Jesus
[Verse]
D/A       Am7          A7sus4
Some good people, will deny

   D6/A                           D/A       Am7
Anything that they can't see with their own eye

D/A        Am7            A7sus4
They don't walk, in God's light,

          D6/A                   D/A        Am7
They just walk the way they do because it's right
[Chorus]
    D         Em    D
And they will ride, ride,

Cmaj7                     D
Home to Jesus, heads held high,

          Em    D
They will ride, ride,

Cmaj7                     D
Home to Jesus, heads held high,

          Em    D
They will ride, ride,

D/A    Am7              A7sus4
People hear me, who can know (who can know)

       D6/A                           D/A    Am7
If our time on Earth's the soundcheck or the show?

D/A   Am7                      A7sus4
Ask a good man, and there's no doubt

           D6/A                    D/A     Am7
He’ll have too much on his mind to work it out
[Chorus]
    D       Em    D
But he will ride, ride,

Cmaj7                    D
Home to Jesus, head held high,

He will ride, ride,

He will ride, ride,
