Ride The Ride

I find this song a bit tricky, but it carries so much emotion it is worth

the work to make up an arrangement of it.  the recording makes heavy use of

piano with   electric guitar embellishments, so this acoustic version

attempts to capture the feel of those instruments.  You really do not need

the fancy E and F#m7 chords, but the forms here do give the song the feel

of the original.  I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who gives this a try.

I tend to submit stuff from rather obscure artists and I oftenwonder if

anyone else actually enjoys playing it.

Chords:

E*: 022404        F#m7/E:  007605   (both use all 6 strings)

D* : XX0235       D-5: XX0234   Dmaj7add9: XX0220

G9:  300203

Intro:  E*-F#m*,F#m*-E*,E*-F#m*, D*-D-5-D

E*                  F#m7/E*

Thinkin' back to another time

D            E

4th of July '69

E*                            F#m7

I dropped the top on the Pontiac

         D* D-5   Dmaj7add9

And we drove on down

E*           F#m7/E*

Down Cedar Avenue

D                       E

To the place where the home runs flew

           E*              F#m7/E

We had a few miles left to go

          D                       E

I heard Halls  and Hawk on the radio

C#m                 D

And even with the volume down

C#m                    D

So near that I could hear that sound

         F#m   C#m   D

Of that rumble in the air

F#      C#                E             B

Harmon Killabrew did you ever get my letter

F#   C#         A        E         B

Ten pages of clear blue sky

F#      C#     A         E

Green diamond days gone by

G9      D

Wonder Why

Bm               E             Am7   D      to intro

Those days are going, going, gone. gone

2nd verse chords are the same except for one line*

I used to hate to hear my dad complain

About the way the world has changed

Now I find that I'm doin' the same

As the years go by

I went back to the praire to the diamond ground

One last look before they tore it down

They put up a mall with a merry go round

D (for entire line)

Like there ain't enough shopping malls in this town*

Someone one turn the volume down

I just want to hear the sound

Of those Sundays after noon

REFRAIN replace last line with:

Bm                            E

Those days are going, going, gone

Bridge follows refrain chords except at the last line:

Bm -E and then go right into Coda

Coda:

F#      C#               E           B

Harmon Killabrew did you ever get my letter

F#   C#      A          E

Ten pages of clear blue sky

F#      C#           E                  B

Harmon Killabrew I need things to get better

B/G#             C#          F#m    B

These days are going, going, gone, gone

Ending:   C#-B, B-C#,C#-B-C#
