Intro - 2x

C-F*

Chorus

C (x355xx)

Ride, ride my see-saw,

Bb (x133xx) C-F*

Take this place on this trip just for me

Ride, take a free ride,

Bb C-F*

Take my place, have my seat it's for free.

Verse 1

Bb F (xx356x) G

I worked like a slave for years,

Sweat so hard just to end my fears,

Not to end my life a poor man

Bb C-C*

But by now, I know, I should have run.

Chorus

Run, run my last race,

Bb C-F*

Take my place, have this number of mine.

Run, run like a fire,

Bb C-F*

Don't you run in, in the lanes, run for time.

Verse 2

Left school with a first class pass,

Started work, but as second class,

School taught one and one is two,

But by now, that answer, just ain't true.

Bridge - 2x

Ahhh... Ahhh... Ahhh... Ahhh...

Dm Bb Dm F C C-C*

Ahhh... Ahhh... Ahhh... Ahhh... Ahhh...

Verse 3

C Bb F G (Riff A)

My world is spinning around,

Bb F G (Riff B)

Every-thing is lost that I found

People run, come ride with me,

Bb C-F*

Let's find another place that's free.

Chorus

Ride, ride my see-saw,

Take this place on this trip just for me

Ride, take a free ride,

Bb C-F*

Take my place, have my seat it's for free.

Outro

Ride my see saw, ride, ride
