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
