Let It Ride Gordon Lightfoot
CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] F G D F G D F G Bb F G D
[VERSE 1:]
These are just the simple facts I [Asus4]will relate to you
Though [G/A]they are not connected, each and [Asus4]every one is true
If they [D]seem a bit untidy, well un[Asus4]ravelling them is fun
I [G/A]will not stand corrected, I have [Asus4]not harmed anyone
[CBORUS:]
[F]I just [G]let it [D]ride
[F]Ride, [G]let it [D]ride
Leave on the [F]evening [G] tide
[F]Just [G]let it [D]ride
[VERSE 2:]
When I listen to my heart, I [F]sometimes fail to [G]find
One [D]sane and simple [F]answer on the [G]bright side of my [Asus4]mind
[F]Even [G]when I'm [D]sleeping, I [F]can't seem [G]to un[D]wind
[F]I just [G]let it [D]ride[Asus4]
[VERSE 3:]
I knew a man from Windsor who went to [Asus4]Detroit every night
And [G/A]Stateside of the tunnel, customs [Asus4]agents gave him flight
He [D]threw his stash in the river and his [Asus4]bedroll on the ground
And [G/A]when they finally got there, a sleeping [Asus4]man was all that they found
[CBORUS:]
[F]He just [G]let it [D]ride
[F]Ride, [G]let it [D]ride
Leave on the [F]evening [G] tide
[F]Just [G]let it [D]ride
[VERSE 4:]
Hear the steeple bells ring out a[F]bove my lobster [G]pots
[D]I might be out here [F]fishing, man, but [G]that ain't where it [Asus4]stops
The [F]mouths I [G]feed are [D]many and they [F]all say, "[G]Thanks a [D]lot"
[F]They just [G]let it [D]ride[Asus4]
[VERSE 5:]
One day when I'm old and grey and con[Asus4]sider what's gone by
I [G/A]always will be proud of every [Asus4]tear I've ever cried
And [D]all of the old jokes we told a[Asus4]round the candle light
To [G/A]all those tender damsels who had [Asus4]helped us in the night
[CBORUS:]
[F]They just [G]let it [D]ride
[F]Ride, [G]let it [D]ride
Leave on the [F]evening [G] tide
[F]Just [G]let it [D]ride[F] [G] [D]
[F]I'm gonna [G]let it [D]ride [F] [G] [Bb] [F] [G] [D]
[VERSE 6:]
Here's to the girls from London and the [Asus4]ones from Montreal
We [G/A]never will forget them, we still [Asus4]fantasize them all
I [D]knew one in St. Louis on a [Asus4]Missouri afternoon
I [G/A]met one up in Shanghai and a[Asus4]nother in Rangoon
[CBORUS:]
[F]I just [G]let it [D]ride
[F]Ride, [G]let it [D]ride
Leave on the [F]evening [G] tide
[F]Just [G]let it [D]ride
[CBORUS:]
[F]Ride, [G]ride, [D]ride
I'm [F]gonna [G]let it [D]ride
Leave on the [F]evening [G] tide
[F]Just [G]let it [D]ride
