Ride On

Christy Moore
Tab

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Lyrics/Chords

Em C

True you ride the finest horse, I've ever seen,

D Em

Standing sixteen one or two, with eyes wild and green.

Em C

You ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch

D Em

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.

Chorus

Em

Ride On,

C

See you,

D Em

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.

Chorus

Em

Ride On,

C

See you,

D Em

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.

Verse

When you ride into the night, without a trace behind

Run your claw along my gut, one last time.

I turned to face an empty space. where you used to lie

And look for the spark that lights the night through a teardrop in my eye.

Chorus

Em

Ride On,

C

See you,

D Em

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.

Chorus

Em

Ride On,

C

See you,

D Em

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.

(You can now play the intro/outro solo or continue fingerpicking.

Either way the song now fades to a close.)
