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