Am
moving like the fog on the cumberland river
G C
i was leaving on the delta queen
F C G
and i wasn’t ready to go
F C G
i’m never ready to go

Am
27 years of nothing but failures
G C
and promises that i couldn’t keep , oh lord
F C G
and i wasn’t ready to go
F C G
i’m never ready to go

Am
let it ride
F C G
let it ride easy down the road
Am
let it ride
F C G
let it take away all of the darkness
Am
let it ride
F C G C
let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels
G
until it brings me home
G Am – intro riff

Am
loaded like a sailor tumbling off a ferryboat
G C
i was at the bar till three , oh lord
F C G
and i wasn’t ready to go
F C G
i’m never ready to go

tennessee’s a brother to my sister carolina
G C
where they were gonna bury me
F C G
and i wasn’t ready to go
F C G
i’m never ready to go

G
i wanna see you tonight
G
dancing in the endless moonlight
F C
in a parking lot in the headlights of cars
G
some place on the moon
G
where they moved the drive – in theatre
F
where i left the car that i can’t find
C ( * )
but i still got the keys to

( * ) play once

chorus – repeat
