Chords for Danny O'Keefe "Along For the Ride" LIVE March 2012

[C] _ _ _ [C#m] A long time ago in a very strange universe [C] that I lived in.
_ In South [G#] St.
Paul, Minnesota, I had a 50-60.
[C#] _ _ _
_ [B] _ [E] I was working two jobs, right [C] out on the Biggy Wiggy.
_ [E] _ _ _
_ _ And every night at 11 or 11.30 I'd get off work.
_ And I'd _ go as hard and fast as I could on the beltline to get over [B] to Minneapolis to _
[E] _ see [Bm] this girl.
[Em] _ _ _
_ [A] _ And one of the things you quickly [C#] realize in a 50-60 is _ [E] you have to be pretty much a master of the conga [A] suit to _ _ [C#m] find a position that works.
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] Coming home one night I crossed the Minot Dover Bridge _ _ [E] and I decided to see if it really would go [C#m] 135 miles. _ _ _
So I just [E] put my foot down and lifted her.
[N] And at about 85 I got in the quarter-couple, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ quarter, [C#] _
[F#m] very lit ball of green shit.
[C#] Just burned down by her.
Kept on going [N] and _ _ _ it's funny, it started to lift at about [E] 175. _ _
_ _ Cascades were just going [F] like that. _
[D#] I _ saw _ _ [C#m] her come up to the beltline. _ _ _ _
And you know that shit [F] comes right behind me.
_ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] And he [E] just pulls over in front of me and blocked it and _ the sheriff's hat and stuff.
_ _ _ _ He _ _ _ _ _ [B] said I'm gonna give you [E] _
_ _ 75, _ _ _ 60, [N] just how fast you are you can't. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ I said let's put the top down baby.
[F] You know we're in denial.
_ _ But it's more than [G] young to know better.
_ [F] It's more than you can tell.
_ _ _ [C] All I [G] want to know is you [F] fine. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Em] You're all I [C] want, [F] _ _ _
_ all I [A] want.
But I _
_ _ [Am] _ [Em] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ got a rock and roll on me.
_ [F] _ It's time to get down.
But [D] I'm a dreamer and wild in the [F] streets.
I think it's about time I met a new town.
_ [Am] _ _ Where you play the truth we play.
[F] _ And _ _ I'm just a [Gm] joy.
You my [G] little lovely girl, little [F] one.
And we're _ just as [Dm] lovely as [C] always.
Oh, I'm a _ super [F] nice _ guy.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ All [Dm] I want is you.
All I want is you baby.
But I don't know who to ask.
[C] _ _ [Dm] _ [G] _ All I want [C]
is you.
[G] But you [Dm] by my side.
[F] _ _ _ [G] _ All I want is you baby.
[C] But I don't know [F] who to _ [D] ask.
Don't know [Am] who to ask. _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] When the lovely things we try to paint.
[F] Because I played this song
[E] _ [F] June _ [G] 19, the perfect day
[F] No one's suspecting I'm the leader
[C] I [G] was [C] left to [F] find _ myself
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ Baby, one morning it all [F] was a lie
[Dm] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ Why I won't believe
[G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ Believe [C]
it was the [G] morning and all [Dm] was a _ lie
I was [E] wrong [A] for the reason that I played _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
