Intro: F G D   F G D   F G Bb   F G D 

verse 1: 
                                  Asus4 
These are just the simple facts I will relate to you  
       G/A                              Asus4 
Though they are not connected, each and every one is true  
        D                         Asus4 
If they seem a bit untidy, well unravelling them is fun  
  G/A                              Asus4 
I will not stand corrected, I have not harmed anyone 


F      G      D 
I just let it ride 
F     G      D 
Ride, let it ride  
             F       G  
Leave on the evening  tide 
F    G      D 
Just let it ride 



verse 2: 
                             F                 G 
When I listen to my heart, I sometimes fail to find  
    D               F             G                 Asus4 
One sane and simple answer on the bright side of my mind  
F    G        D           F          G    D 
Even when I'm sleeping, I can't seem to unwind  
F      G      D     Asus4 
I just let it ride 


verse 3: 
                                      Asus4 
I knew a man from Windsor who went to Detroit every night  
    G/A                              Asus4 
And Stateside of the tunnel, customs agents gave him flight  
   D                                    Asus4 
He threw his stash in the river and his bedroll on the ground  
    G/A                                     Asus4 
And when they finally got there, a sleeping man was all that they found 

 
F       G      D 
He just let it ride 
F     G      D 
Ride, let it ride  
             F       G  
Leave on the evening  tide 
F    G      D 
Just let it ride 



verse 4: 
                                 F               G 
Hear the steeple bells ring out above my lobster pots  
D                   F                 G                   Asus4 
I might be out here fishing, man, but that ain't where it stops  
    F        G        D             F         G        D 
The mouths I feed are many and they all say, "Thanks a lot" 
F         G      D     Asus4 
They just let it ride 


VERSE 5: 
                                     Asus4 
One day when I'm old and grey and consider what's gone by  
  G/A                           Asus4 
I always will be proud of every tear I've ever cried  
    D                             Asus4 
And all of the old jokes we told around the candle light 
   G/A                              Asus4 
To all those tender damsels who had helped us in the night 


F         G      D 
They just let it ride 
F     G      D 
Ride, let it ride  
             F       G  
Leave on the evening  tide 
F    G      D     F  G  D 
Just let it ride 
F         G      D     F  G  Bb  F  G  D 
I'm gonna let it ride 
 


VERSE 6: 
                                        Asus4 
Here's to the girls from London and the ones from Montreal  
   G/A                              Asus4 
We never will forget them, we still fantasize them all  
  D                          Asus4 
I knew one in St. Louis on a Missouri afternoon  
  G/A                         Asus4 
I met one up in Shanghai and another in Rangoon 

 
F      G      D 
I just let it ride 
F     G      D 
Ride, let it ride  
             F       G  
Leave on the evening  tide 
F    G      D 
Just let it ride 

F     G     D 
Ride, ride, ride 
    F     G      D 
I'm gonna let it ride  
             F       G  
Leave on the evening  tide 
F    G      D 
Just let it ride
