Ride (R. Hitchcock)

-------------------

G

You don't have to go anywhere

G

you don't have to do anything

A

All you've got to do in this world is Ride

C G

All you've got to do is Ride

It's the end of a lond, hard decade -

and before the next long, hard decade

By the end of which a million creatures

yet unborn will die

All you've got to do is Ride

C

Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me -

G

that's what all the papers say

C

Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me -

G

please don't let me get away

C

But if you don't love yourself

C

What's the use in someone else

D

Loving you?

You don't have to sharpen yourself -

you're imbedded deep as it is

All you've got to do in this world is Ride

All you've got to do is Ride

You don't have to worship a cheque -

you don't have to sleep with a judge

All you've got to do in this world is Ride

All you've got to do is Ride

Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me -

that's what everybody says

Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me -

please don't let me get away

But if you don't love yourself

What's the use in someone else

Loving you?

C D

So put down your hands, pick up your head - and Ride

G

Sitting in a carriage in the pouring rain -

A

In Swindon

C G

With an anorak

G A C G

Better ride on ho - o - me (x4)
