David Allen Coe – The Ride chords

Tim McGraw adds this to the end of "Real Good Man' sometimes.
Let chords ring with repeated lines in chorus.
I like to carry the last 'ride' in final chorus through the chord progression D C G D

DI was thumbing my way back from Montgomery
        Fwith my guitar on my back
       Gwhen a man pulled up beside me
      Din an antique Cadillac

DHe was dressed like 1950
     Fhalf drunk and hollowed eyed
           Gsaid its a long walk back to Nashville
          Dwould you like a ride son

DSo I jumped into the front seat
       Fand he turned on the radio
        Gand the sad songs coming out those speakers
      Dwas a solid country gold

DWell I noticed the stranger was a ghost white pale
        Fwhen he asked me for a light
       Gthen I knew there was something strange
 D about this ride

chorus:

        CHe said mister can you make folks
Gcry when you play and
Dsing

Dhave you paid your dues
can you moan the blues 

        Acan you bend those guitar strings

    CAnd son can you make folks

Gfeel what you feel

  Dinside.... 

            Ccuz if your big star bound 

       Glet me warn you its a 

Dlong hard ride

        C (one stroke)

          Dlong hard ride

D   C   G   D

verse 2

DWell he cried just south of Nashville
        
       Fand he turned that car around
