Let It Ride Acousticv2

Ryan Adams “Let It Ride"(Acoustic)

This is how our boy plays it on the acoustic and this is probably 90% correct. I hope

solo performer finds this useful. This sounds really good solo, I mean, Ryan did it! I

the lead at the bottom.

CAPO 5th Fret!!!

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

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

Am7 Am7 Am7 F C/E(x2)

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

(Here’s the lead relative to capo on 5)
