[Verse 1]
Am
Moving like the fog on the Cumberland River
G C
I was leaving on the Delta Queen
F C G
And I wasn't ready to go
F C G
I'm never ready to go
Am
27 years of nothing but failures
G C
and promises that I couldn't keep, Oh Lord
F C G
And I wasn't ready to go
F C G
I'm never ready to go
[Chorus]
Am
Let it ride
F C G
Let it ride easy down the road
Am
Let it ride
F C F
Let it take away all of this darkness
Am
Let it ride
F C G C
Let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels
F
Until it brings me home
F Am - Intro Riff
Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go
[Verse 2]
Am
Loaded like a sailor tumbling off a ferryboat
G C
I was at the bar till three, Oh Lord
F C G
And I wasn't ready to go
F C G
I'm never ready to go
Am
Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina
G C
Where they were gonna bury me
F C G
And I ain't ready to go
F C G
I'm never ready to go
[Chorus]
Am
Let it ride
F C G
Let it ride easy down the road
Am
Let it ride
F C F
Let it take away all of this darkness
Am
Let it ride
F C G C
Let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels
F
Until it brings me home
F Am - Intro Riff
Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go
[Bridge]
F
I wanna see you tonight
F
Dancing in the endless moonlight
C G
In a parking lot in the headlights of cars
F
Some place on the moon
F
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
[Chorus]
Am
Let it ride
F C G
Let it ride easy down the road
Am
Let it ride
F C F
Let it take away all of this darkness
Am
Let it ride
F C G C
Let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels
F
Until it brings me home
F Am - Intro Riff
Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go
