[Intro]
Am7 Am7 Am7 Fmaj7 C/G
[Verse]
Am Moving like the fog on the Cumberland River G C/G I was leaving on the Delta Queen Fmaj7 C/E G And I wasn't ready to go Fmaj7 C/E G I'm never ready to go Am 27 years of nothing but failures G C/G and promises that I couldn't keep, Oh Lord Fmaj7 C/E G and I wasn't ready to go Fmaj7 C/E G I'm never ready to go
[Chorus]
Am Let it ride Fmaj7 C/G G Let it ride easy down the road Am Let it ride Fmaj7 C/G G Let it take away all of the darkness Am Let it ride Fmaj7 C/G G C/G 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/G (x2)
[Verse]
Am Loaded like a sailor tumbling off a ferryboat G C/G I was at the bar till three, oh Lord Fmaj7 C/E G and I wasn't ready to go Fmaj7 C/E G I'm never ready to go Am Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina G C/G Where they were gonna bury me Fmaj7 C/G G and I ain't ready to go Fmaj7 C/G G I'm never ready to go
[Chorus]
Am Let it ride Fmaj7 C/G G Let it ride easy down the road Am Let it ride Fmaj7 C/G G Let it take away all of the darkness Am Let it ride Fmaj7 C/G G C/G 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/G (x2)
[Bridge]
Fmaj7 I wanna see you tonight Fmaj7 Dancing in the endless moonlight C/G 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/G Where I left the car that I can't find G but I still got the keys to
[Chorus]
Am Let it ride Fmaj7 C/G G Let it ride easy down the road Am Let it ride Fmaj7 C/G G Let it take away all of the darkness Am Let it ride Fmaj7 C/G G C/G 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/G (x2)
