Verse 1:
T[E]wo wheels a-turnin'
One girl a-yearnin'
Big motor burnin' the road
(drums enter)
I'll ride the highway
I'm going my way
I leave a story untold
Chorus 1:
P[A]retty girls beh[B]ind [A]me
But p[A]retty girls are e[B]v...'[A]rywh[E]ere
B[A]ig motor w[B]ind [A]up
Ri[A]de on aw[B]ay f[A]rom h[E]ere
(1:) D E
Ride away
Bridge A:
[(E)]She w[Am7]on't a[D7]ppr[Dm7]ove [G7] of things I[Cmaj7] do or what I [Am]am
[Dm7] And I don't r[G7]eally give a.[Cmaj7].. I understand
[Am]But she'll never s[F]ee
That I'll never[D7/F#] be
Anyone but [G]me
[E] [G] [E]
[//] [//] [/] [//] [//] [/]
Bridge B:
[F#m]She thinks she n[G#m]eeds me
[F#m]She cries for[G#m] me
[F#m]But I know she's [G#m]lying
[F#m]Crying for others to [G#m]see[F#m]
What can I s[F#]ay
I'll just ride aw[B]ay[F#][B]
Verse 2:
(Ride, ride away, boy, ride, ride away, boy)
Big motor run, run
Ride on away from
Heartache and misery
I'm bound to wander (big motor run, run)
Way over yonder
Someone may wait just for me
Chorus 2:
True love to cling to
I need a dream to share
Someone to know me
Someone to show me they care
Coda:
[C#m]Ride aw[B]ay
[C#m]Ride aw[B]ay
[A] From tears and s[E]orrow
[A] Like there's no tom[E]orrow
Toni[A]ght I'll[F#7] ri-[Fmaj7]ide aw[E]ay
(repeat intro riff to fade)
