Intro: Am7    Am7    Am7   F  C/E

Am
Moving like the fog on the Cumberland River
      F                 C/E
I was leaving on the Delta Queen
      F   C/E      G
And I wasn't ready to go
F      C/E      G
I'm never ready to go

Am
27 years of nothing but failures
       F                  C/E
and promises that I couldn't keep, Oh Lord
    F     C/E      G
and I wasn't ready to go
F      C/E      G
I'm never ready to go

       Am
Let it ride
            F  C/E      G
Let it ride easy  down the road
       Am
Let it ride
            F     C/E    G
Let it take away all of the darkness
       Am
Let it ride
               F   C/E     G         C/E
Let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels
F
Until it brings me home
F                             Am
Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go

Am7    Am7    Am7   F  C/E (x2)

Am
Loaded like a sailor tumbling off a ferryboat
F                  C/E
I was at the bar till three, Oh Lord
    F     C/E      G
and I wasn't ready to go
F      C/E      G
I'm never ready to go

Am
Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina
      F                 C/E
Where they were gonna bury me
    F    C/E      G
and I ain't ready to go
F      C/E      G
I'm never ready to go

       Am
Let it ride
            F  C/E      G
Let it ride easy  down the road
       Am
Let it ride
            F     C/E    G
Let it take away all of the darkness
       Am
Let it ride
               F   C/E     G         C/E
Let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels
F
Until it brings me home
F                             Am
Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go

Am7    Am7    Am7   F  C/E(x2)

F
I wanna see you tonight
F
Dancing in the endless moonlight
C/E                     G
In a parking lot in the headlights of cars
F
Some place on the moon
F
Where they moved the drive-in theatre
C/E
Where I left the car that I can't find
    G
but I still got the keys to

       Am
Let it ride
            F  C/E      G
Let it ride easy  down the road
       Am
Let it ride
            F     C/E    G
Let it take away all of the darkness
       Am
Let it ride
               F   C/E     G         C/E
Let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels
F
Until it brings me home
F                             Am
Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go

Am7    Am7    Am7   F  C/E (x2)
