Let Me Ride Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Well, now, [G]times got hard
And I didn't draw the card [C]I needed
So, I pro[D]ceeded to bang it [Bb]on do[G]wn
[C]the line[G]
Hitchhike, turnpike
And if you got room,
[C]won't you let me ride?
Just as [D]far as you're going
And, Lord knowing, [C]I'll be [G]much obliged

[Verse 2]
There was a [G]light rain falling
I started recalling [C]how lonesome
a man can be
[D]Feeling a chill when over the hill
Came a [G]brand new baby blue Cadillac
Stop on a dime
I threw my guitar in the back,
and I climbed inside
[C]Big[D] blue eyes said, "Hey, boy,
don't you want a ride?"
[G]

[Verse 3]
I said, "To [C]Birmingham, [G]Alabama
Or to [D]Nashville,
Tennessee will do just fine with [G]me
Don't you know what [C]I mean?
I'm coming from [G]New Or[C]leans
Now, [D]hey
Mama, won't [G]you let me [C]ride?"

[Verse 4]
Well, now, [G]black fur coat, diamond ring
Shining [C]like something I ain't ever seen
My [D]old guitar and a roadside [G]bar
Walked in the door looking
like a movie queen
There was a honky- tonk jukebox,
hardwood floor
[C]She said, "I ain't ever seen
nothing like this before."
[D]I said, "That's all right, mama,
won't you let me ride?"
[G]

[Verse 5]
On down to [C]Birmingham, [G]Alabama
Or [D]to Nashville,
Tennessee will do fine with [G]me
Don't you know what I [C]mean?
I'm coming from [G]New [C]Orleans
Now, [D]hey
Mama, won't [G]you let

[Outro 1]
me ride?"
