Ride - Here and Now
Intro and verse riff:
F#7 A|--------------------|--------------------||--------------------|--------------------||------9------9----9-|------9------9----9-||-11-9---11-9---11---|-11-9---11-9---11---||--------------------|--------------------||--------------------|--------------------|
D B|--------------------|-------------------||--------------------|-------------------||------9------9----9-|-----9------9----9-||-12-9---12-9---11---|-9-9---9-11---11---||--------------------|-------------------||--------------------|-------------------|
For the intro repeat that 4 times, twice with only one guitar and twice with the
(heavily distorted) chords and harmonica part on top. For the verse repeat the riff 4 times. An
example of how the chords fit in with the verses:
F#7 A
The bridge holds back the sky
D B
Can't hold back what's inside
F#7 A
And the train above me
D B
Sounds like the music in my head
My thoughts are undecided
I think it so I hide it
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone too fast
I wish that I was stronger
Could keep my head for longer
I sit and watch my fear
But it won't disappear
I can dream myself away
Lose myself for days
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone too fast
Between these verses, repeat the riff (with the harmonica part) twice.
Then there's the bridge, which has only chords:
B A E D
All I know, all I know
B A E D
All I know is here and now
After that, repeat the riff twice. Then comes this part (which features prominent bass
guitar in the song):
F#7 A|---------------------|---------------------||---------------------|---------------------||------9------9-------|------9------9-------||-11-----11-----11-11-|-11-----11-----11-11-||---------------------|---------------------||---------------------|---------------------|
D B|--------------------|-----------------||--------------------|-----------------||------9------9----9-|-----9-----9-----||-12-----12-----11---|-9-----9-----9-9-||--------------------|-----------------||--------------------|-----------------|
Play it twice, then the riff twice. Repeat the bridge section (the "All I know is here
and now" thing), and this variation on the riff written above twice. Then you have the
last verse (same riff and chords as in the beginning):
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone too fast
And the train rushes past
Like a life gone too fast
Repeat intro riff twice, then, while fading out, the main riff is repeated 4 times with
this barely audible part played over it:
|--------------|--------------------|--------------||--------------|--------------------|--------------||--------------|--------------------|--------------||-11-9-11---11-|-11-11-11--9-----11-|-11-9-11---11-||--------------|-------------12-----|--------------||--------------|--------------------|--------------|
|-----------------|-----------||-----------------|-----------||-----------------|-----------||-11-11-11-9------|-9---------||------------12---|-----------||-----------------|-----------|
This goes on with different variations, this is basically improvised.
Summed up, the song's structure is like this:
Intro - Riff x4
Verse - Riff x4
