[Intro] (Bass and lead guitar) A-F#m-D-C#m [Verse] A F#m Beneath the dance hall lights, D You seem a girl so sound, C#m Lights up the ground. A F#m If you give up New York, D I'll give you Tennessee, C#m The only place to be. A F#m The cowboy's burning eyes, D Don't like the sight of me, C#m Just straight enough to breathe. A F#m I like your point of view, D So don't you shy away, C#m A Ride out the wave. F#m D Ride out the wave. C#m A Ride out the wave. F#m D-C#m Ride out the wave. [Bridge] F#m-E-F#m-G#m [Verse] A F#m D Ride out the wave. C#m Ride out the wave. A F#m You had me holding on D Another time and place. C#m Ride out the wave. A F#m Carry yourself away D The one and only face, C#m Ride out the wave. Ride out the wave. Ride out the wave.
