Verse
A C#m
Now that I have lived
D E
F# lifetime's worth of days
A C#m
Finally I see
D E
The folly of my ways
A C#m
So listen when I sing of
D E
The temptations of this world
A C#m
Fancy cars and needles
D E
Whisky, flesh and pearls
D E
And then in the end
A D
It's family and friends
D E
Loving yourself
C#m D
But not only yourself
D
Its about the good walk
E
And the hard walk
C#m D
And the young girls you've made cry
E
It's about make a little music everyday 'til you di-ie
[Chorus]
A C#m
It's a beautiful ride (Beautifull ride)
Em D
Beautiful Ri-de (Beautiful ride)
F E A
Beautiful beautiful ride
[Verse]
A C#m
As I stand on the precipice of death
D E
My perspective is enormous
A C#m
Every leaf, every cloud
D E
I see the hands which have formed us
A C#m
And some days all you got
D E
Is a nighttime graveyard walk
A C#m
And you whistle some sweet melody
D B
To the ghosts down at the dock
[Bridge]

When youth is spent and burned
