lyrics

THIS RIDE

E A
1.THERE WAS A TIME / WHEN LIFE BLOOMED LIKE FLOWERS
B7 E
THEN MY SUNNY DAYS SOON TURNED INTO SHOWERS
E E7 A
AND NOW ALL THAT IS LEFT IS A GARDEN OF SORROWS
B7 E
AND THE FORECAST IS FOR / MORE RAINING TOMORROW
E B7
CH: SITTING HERE NOW / NO ONE LEFT
E B/D# C#m
OR BE-S-I--DE
A B7 E
AIN’T GOT NO FRIENDS/I’M ALONE ON THIS RIDE
E A
2. I ALWAYS LIVED FOR EXCITEMENT AND FURY
B7 E
WHICH HAS LANDED ME HERE / SAYS THE JUDGE AND THE JURY
E A
ALL I HAVE LEFT IS THIS PAIN IN MY SOUL
B7 E
AND THE YEARS STILL TO COME TIL THEY GRANT MY PAROLE

CH: SITTING HERE NOW….
E A
3. AT NIGHT AS I SLEEP / MY MIND GIVES ME PARDON
B7 E
AND I AM HOME AGAIN /I N MY OWN LOVELY GARDEN
