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