Dwight Yoakam - Wild Ride (tab)
By axehappy - axehappy@
Unfortunately, I can't make out the lead at the end of the song, because
Dwight is singing over most of it....so you'd need to improvise through that.
But the main solo is still well worth learning!

INTRO
I walked in, there said Slim,
Cleaning up his memory with some sapphire gin.
E A E A
Mr. Paine grabbed my arm, pulled me aside,
D E
And said "Kid, are you ready for the wild ride"?
A
I looked up, there she stood,
I said "If you didn't look so great I'd say you looked good".
E A E A
Oh, she took her hand ran it up my thigh and said:
D E
Cowboy, you ready for the wild ride?
A
Come on now junior, take the wild ride.
See can you make it on the wild ride.
E
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride.
A
'Cause things start breakin' on the wild ride.
Layin' on the highway, I saw my mind,
In tiny little pieces thrown from side to side.
E A E A
My heart was shattered along with my pride,
D E
Guess you can't keep 'em on the wild ride.
A
Come on now junior, take the wild ride.
See can you make it on the wild ride.
E
Don't try no shakin' on the wild ride.
A
'Cause things start breakin' on the wild ride.

INSTRUMENTAL
I was crawlin' cross the floor, I was tryin' to leave,
When I felt someone tugging what was left of my sleeve.
E A E A
I heard a little voice with a gold-plated vibe say:
D E
I bought a ticket for the wild ride.
A
Come on junior, take the wild ride.
See can we make it on the wild ride.
E
Lets try to shake it on the wild ride.
A
We might just break it on the wild ride.
Come on junior, take the wild ride.
See can we make it on the wild ride.
E
Lets try to shake it on the wild ride.
A
We might just break it on the wild ride.
Come on, come on, take me on the wild ride.
See can you make me on the wild ride.
E
Come on and shake me on the wild ride.
A E A E A
You might just break me on the wild ride.
