Joyride Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][C][D][C][G][D][C]
[D]Y' understand

[Verse 1]
I
was not lookin' whereby to fall in love
I'd come downtown to check out
a band at The Continental Club
A [G]Mamie Van Doren- lookin'
woman come in the door
[D]She was untamed youth rebellion
and truth and so much more
I [A]don't know if she had seen the light,
she seemed at home in the dark
Her [D]eyes met mine and it was like
the time they split the atom apart

[Verse 2]
She could have [G]had any biker in
the bar but she come up to me
She said "You're done sleeping around,
from now on you're with [A]me"

[Interlude 1]
[A][D][C][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]Y' [C]und[D]ers[C]tan[G]d I[D] di[C]d n[D]ot know
if this was my last or my lucky day
She said "You wanna go for a joy ride
or you wanna stay here and pray"
I [G]thought about my choices and I
guess I could have said no
But it was [D]just a band I'd come to see,
so I mumbled

[Verse 4]
"Let's [D]go"
[A]She had an old
Camaro- - naugahyde tuck and roll
She said [D]"You can't live down in Texas
if you don't have a lot of soul"

[Verse 5]
The [G]stereo was blasting "Mendocino"
by Doug Sahm
She said "Fasten your seatbelt, you're with
me from now [A]on"

[Interlude 2]
[A][D][C][G][D][C][D][C]
[D][C]
[D]Understand

[Verse 6]
I was not sleeping at
the next day's sunrise
Me and this joy ride angel were
up all night it's no surprise
[G]When we got to her house she said
"Go on and take off your shoes.
[D]I don't smoke afterwards I
prefer to listen to blues"
[A]"I know you're an old roots rocker
and that's a compliment
When [D]she said "Do you want to hear some

[Verse 7]
Slim Harpo," I knew she was heaven sent
[G]In her fine presence is where I want to be
I'm done sleeping around,
from now on she's [A]with me

[Outro 1]
