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

Beautiful beautiful ride
