Darrell Scott - Rhonda's Last Ride guitar chord

RHONDA’S LAST RIDE

DARRELL SCOTT

INTRO C Em D

G C

SHE WAS FOUND IN HER BEDROOM WITH A NOTE ON THE WALL

Em Bm G C

SAYING TAKE ME OR LEAVE ME; IT DON’T MATTER NOW AT ALL

G C

HER PASSING MADE THE PAPERS THOUGH THERE WEREN’T MUCH TO SAY

Em Bm G C

JUST A GIRL OF THE NIGHT TAKES HER LIFE AT MIDDAY

SHE WAS FOND OF THE LADIES AND GOOD TO THE MEN

AND SHE COULD TAKE YOU ABOUT ANYWHERE YOU’D NEVER BEEN

THOUGH I NEVER TOUCHED HER WE’D WALKED EVERYDAY

HEADING WEST DOWN SUNSET TALKING OUR LIVES AWAY

CHORUS

D C G

SAID SHE COULD WALK ON THE WATER-, BED SHOOT OUT THE LIGHTS

D C G

TAKE YOU UP TO THE LIMIT, PUSH YOU OVER THE LINE

D C Em D

SAID IF YOU WANNA SEE GOD, BROTHER, CLOSE YOUR EYES

C Em D

THIS ONE’S FOR RHONDA’S LAST RIDE

THERE’S A TOWN IN NEVADA, JUST ACROSS THE STATE LINE

WHERE RHONDA GREW UP AHEAD OF HER TIME

WHY, IF I HAD TO SAY, IT’S HER DADDY TO BLAME

OLD DESERT RAT CODY SET HER CHILDHOOD TO FLAME

AND THERE WERE GI’S AND TRUCKERS AND GHOSTS OF THE ROAD

ON THEIR WAY UP TO VEGAS, THEY’D LIGHTEN THEIR LOAD

THERE WAS MANY A LOVER, BUT NARY COMPLAINED

AND IT WAS MANY A MAN WHO WOULD CALL OUT HER NAME

CHORUS

I’M NOT HERE TO TELL YOU SHE DIED OUT OF SHAME

IN HER LAST CHOSEN MOMENTS, HER LIPS CURSED NO NAME

NOT CODY, NOR JESUS, NOT A CRY OUT FOR LOVE

SHE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU THAT LEAVIN’S ENOUGH

CHORUS
