"Watch Her Ride"
(Paul Kantner)

Intro: Gm7 Fm7 [see Notes for tuning/fingering]

Verse 1:

Gm7 [verse 1: hold 2 extra beats]
I didn't know you were the one for me, I couldn't see
But [Fm7]you were waiting for
[Gm7]Someone to come along and help you out to sing your song
And[Fm7] I was changing

Chorus:

[Ebm7]All I [Fm7]see is you
Ebm7 Fm7 Gm7 [1: Dm7, to post-chorus; 2: D, to bridge]
All I feel is you for me

Post-chorus:

And I would r[Cm7]eally like to watch you [Dm7]ride
And a[Cm7]lways feel you[Dm7] by my side
I would [Cm7]really like to watch you [Dm7]ride
All on[Ebm7] me

Verse 2:

Now I go stumblin' to the sky and I seem to fly so high
I see you, I feel you
You have a way of walkin' 'round, your feet they never touch the ground
And you are shining

[repeat chorus; to bridge]

Bridge:

[8-bar bass solo over D]

[D]Times don't change
Times don't ever change for me and I know
That you could be
The only thing in my world
The only thing that my mind could find for love
Love and peace of mind for me
For me...

[Gm7]Oh, oh, [Fm7]oh...

Verse 3:

Your shadow in the morning sun becomes my fun and we can say
I love you, I love you
Now morning shines on silver beaches, your life flashes through the
reaches
Of my mind, of my mind

Coda:

Of [Gm7]my mind
And my [Cm7]mind becomes alive with [Dm7]you
It's [Cm7]all that I can [Dm7]do
To sit [Cm7]here and let you blow my [Dm7]mind
Blow my [Cm7]mind, you're so f[Dm7]ine
In my [Cm7]mind, you're so [Dm7]fine
[Paul:] In my [Cm7]mind, you're so [Dm7]fine
[Grace:] (...fine) In my mind, you're so fine
[Paul:] In my [Cm7]mind, in my [Dm7]mind
[Grace:] In my mind, you're so fine
[Paul:] You're so f[Cm7]ine[Dm7]
[Grace:] In my mind

Notes:

The chords may sound like 7#9s, but there's definitely no major
third in them. They're actually minor 7ths voiced with the 7th
and 3rd on top, with the low E tuned down to D to allow the root
to be played on the lowest string without an otherwise-impossible
finger reach:

[Gm7] [555766] [Fm7] [333544] [Ebm7][111322]
[Cm7] [111111]000211 [Dm7] [111111]222433
