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

It's a beautiful ride (Beautifull ride)
