Verse
C Em
Now that I have lived
F G
A lifetime's worth of days
C Em
Finally I see
F G
The folly of my ways
C Em
So listen when I sing of
F G
The temptations of this world
C Em
Fancy cars and needles
F G
Whisky, flesh and pearls
F G
And then in the end
C F
It's family and friends
F G
Loving yourself
Em F
But not only yourself
F
Its about the good walk
G
And the hard walk
Em F
And the young girls you've made cry
G
It's about make a little music everyday 'til you di-ie
[Chorus]
C Em
It's a beautiful ride (Beautifull ride)
Gm F
Beautiful Ri-de (Beautiful ride)
Ab G C
Beautiful beautiful ride
[Verse]
C Em
As I stand on the precipice of death
F G
My perspective is enormous
C Em
Every leaf, every cloud
F G
I see the hands which have formed us
C Em
And some days all you got
F G
Is a nighttime graveyard walk
C Em
And you whistle some sweet melody
F D
To the ghosts down at the dock
[Bridge]
E G#m
Sing in to your hand
A B
Lead the marching band
E G#m A B
Dont you let 'em fade your colors gray
E G#m
'Cause when all is said and done
A B
When youth is spent and burned
E G#m
You'll see that it's all about
A
Music!
Flowers!
Babies!
Sharing the good times!
Traveling not just for business!
Accepting your mortality!
A B
This is finally what I've learned!
A B
And then in the end
E A
It's family and friends
A B
Loving yourself
G# A
But not only yourself
A
It's about the good walk
And the hard walk
And the young girls you've made cry
A B
It's about make a little music everyday 'til you di-ie
[Chorus]
E G#m
It's a beautiful ride (Beautifull ride)

Beautiful beautiful ride
Bm A
Beautiful Ri-de
Am G#m E
Beautiful beautiful ride
