Ride - Here and Now


Intro and verse riff:

F#7                         A
|--------------------|--------------------|
|--------------------|--------------------|
|------9------9----9-|------9------9----9-|
|-11-9---11-9---11---|-11-9---11-9---11---|
|--------------------|--------------------|
|--------------------|--------------------|

D                          B
|--------------------|-------------------|
|--------------------|-------------------|
|------9------9----9-|-----9------9----9-|
|-12-9---12-9---11---|-9-9---9-11---11---|
|--------------------|-------------------|
|--------------------|-------------------|

For the intro repeat that 4 times, twice with only one guitar and twice with the 
(heavily distorted) chords and harmonica part on top. For the verse repeat the riff 4 times. An 
example of how the chords fit in with the verses:

   F#7                    A
The bridge holds back the sky
        D                        B
Can't hold back what's inside
          F#7           A
And the train above me
                        D           B
Sounds like the music in my head
My thoughts are undecided
I think it so I hide it
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone too fast

I wish that I was stronger
Could keep my head for longer
I sit and watch my fear
But it won't disappear
I can dream myself away
Lose myself for days
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone too fast

Between these verses, repeat the riff (with the harmonica part) twice.
Then there's the bridge, which has only chords:


B       A       E       D
All I know, all I know
B       A         E          D
All I know is here and now

After that, repeat the riff twice. Then comes this part (which features prominent bass 
guitar in the song):

F#7                          A
|---------------------|---------------------|
|---------------------|---------------------|
|------9------9-------|------9------9-------|
|-11-----11-----11-11-|-11-----11-----11-11-|
|---------------------|---------------------|
|---------------------|---------------------|

D                          B
|--------------------|-----------------|
|--------------------|-----------------|
|------9------9----9-|-----9-----9-----|
|-12-----12-----11---|-9-----9-----9-9-|
|--------------------|-----------------|
|--------------------|-----------------|

Play it twice, then the riff twice. Repeat the bridge section (the "All I know is here 
and now" thing), and this variation on the riff written above twice. Then you have the 
last verse (same riff and chords as in the beginning):

And the train rushes past
Like a day gone too fast
And the train rushes past
Like a life gone too fast

Repeat intro riff twice, then, while fading out, the main riff is repeated 4 times with 
this barely audible part played over it:

|--------------|--------------------|--------------|
|--------------|--------------------|--------------|
|--------------|--------------------|--------------|
|-11-9-11---11-|-11-11-11--9-----11-|-11-9-11---11-|
|--------------|-------------12-----|--------------|
|--------------|--------------------|--------------|

|-----------------|-----------|
|-----------------|-----------|
|-----------------|-----------|
|-11-11-11-9------|-9---------|
|------------12---|-----------|
|-----------------|-----------|

This goes on with different variations, this is basically improvised.

Summed up, the song's structure is like this:

Intro - Riff x4
Verse - Riff x4
Riff x2
Verse - Riff x4
Bridge
Riff x2
Riff variation x2
Riff x2
Bridge
Riff variation x2
Verse - Riff x2

Outro - Riff x4 with improvised solo on top, fading out.
