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