Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

(NOTE: on the intro, I hammer on the B string once in a while)

Intro

Moving like the fog on the Cumberland River

 I was leaving on the Delta Queen

 And I wasn't ready to go

I'm never ready to go

27 years of nothing but failures

 and promises that I couldn't keep, Oh Lord

 and I wasn't ready to go

I'm never ready to go

 Let it ride

 Let it ride easy down the road

 Let it ride

 Let it take away all of the darkness

 Let it ride

 Let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels

Until it brings me home

Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go

Loaded like a sailor tumbling off a ferryboat

I was at the bar till three, Oh Lord

 and I wasn't ready to go

I'm never ready to go

Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina

 Where they were gonna bury me

 and I ain't ready to go

I'm never ready to go

 Let it ride

 Let it ride easy down the road

 Let it ride

 Let it take away all of the darkness

 Let it ride

 Let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels

Until it brings me home

Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go

I wanna see you tonight

Dancing in the endless moonlight

In a parking lot in the headlights of cars

Some place on the moon

Where they moved the drive-in theatre

Where I left the car that I can't find

 but I still got the keys to

 Let it ride

 Let it ride easy down the road

 Let it ride

 Let it take away all of the darkness

 Let it ride

 Let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels

Until it brings me home

Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go
