David Allan Coe – The Ride chords ver. 2

This is my first tab. It sounds right to me. You can pick the verses and then strum the chorus.
No Capo

(Verse)

D           Well, I was thumbin' from Montgomery
FHad my guitar on my back
G                                       DWhen a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac.
D                              FHe was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hollow-eyed.
   G                                                      DHe said, "It's a long walk to Nashville. Would you like a ride, son?"

(Verse)

D                             FI sat down in the front seat. He turned on the radio,
G                                                      DAnd them sad old songs comin' out of them speakers was solid country gold.
D                                                        FThen I noticed the stranger was ghost-white pale when he asked me for a light
G                                                 DAnd I knew there was something strange about this ride.

(Chorus)

D         C                           G                     DHe said, "Drifter, can you make folks cry when you play and sing?
DHave you paid your dues? Can you moan the Blues?
D       ACan you bend them guitar strings?"
A         C                       G                  DHe said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
D                C                      G                          D'Cause if you're big-star bound, let me warn you it's a long, hard ride."

(Verse)

D                                            FThen he cried just south of Nashville and he turned that car around.
F         G                                DHe said, "This is where you get off, Boy, 'Cause I'm goin' back to Alabam'."
D                                           FAs I stepped out of that Cadillac, I said, "Mister, many thanks."
GHe said, "You don't have to call me 'Mister', Mister;
DThe whole world called me 'Hank'!"

(Chorus)

D         C                           G                     DHe said, "Drifter, can you make folks cry when you play and sing?
DHave you paid your dues? Can you m-o-o-oan the Blues?
D       ACan you bend them guitar strings?"
A         G                       C                  DHe said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
D                C                      G                          D'Cause if you're big-star bound, let me warn you it's a long, hard ride."
D         C                           G                     DHe said, "Drifter, can you make folks cry when you play and sing?
DHave you paid your dues? Can you m-o-o-oan the Blues?
D       ACan you bend them guitar strings?"
A         G                       C                  DHe said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
D                C                      G                          D'Cause if you're big-star bound, let me warn you it's a long, hard ride."
D         C                      G                          DIf you're big-star bound, let me warn you it's a long, hard ride.
