Chords for Jesse Colin Young - Ridgetop - 11/26/1989 - Cow Palace (Official)

_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [B] And you being here tonight shows you care about other people.
And I wanted to be here with you.
[A] Here I am.
[Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ [Am] I live on a [D] rich town.
Lord knows I like [A] it just fine. _ _ _ _
_ [D] Well it's windy and foggy.
Quiet most of [A] the time. _ _ _ _
_ [D] Yeah my lawn is pine needles and my [A] driveway's old funky dirt chairs.
[E] _ _ _
[Am] _ [F] And [G] my front pathway markers are [E] pieces of [A] granite and cherry boughs. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ My taxes [D] are high, my house is a mess.
I _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ got _ _ [D] a hundred foot pine trees just enough to [A] dance in the wind. _ _ _ _
_ [D] And a yard full [Am] of bushes _ turning to [E] praise in July. _ _ _
_ [F] Between Blue Jays [G] and Hootah [F] we got [E]
24 hours [A] singing sky. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ When I build my house [D] we got six [A] trees to clear out the land. _ _ _ _
But [D] this dirty mall if [Am] _ you know they gonna [A] stand. _ _ _ _ _
Oh [D] and it's a squirrel sanctuary.
_ The little [E] squirrels think this woods is their home. _ _ _
[Am] _ [F] Oh that [G] long as I'm here [F] I'll make sure [E] people leave us [A] all alone.
[E] _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ Now the hill that I [E] live on is steep and [B] the road is full of roots. _ _ _ _
_ [E] Oh and the people that live in the [Em] flatland think we're hill [Bm] folks and nerds. _ _ _
_ [E] Yeah but the roots in my road and the curves keep the [B] tourists at bay.
_ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [G] Oh this [A] long time been peaceful [G] you know I need it [B] that way. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I work in your [E] cities, think [B] my job is a guess. _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] I know it's good for me to travel, get up off of [B] my ass.
_ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [E] But the very best parts of each trip [Em] _
are the Golden [B] Gate Bridge.
Like _ _
_ _ [G] _ [A] a snake that wither [F#] leave me like a hole in my [B] ridge. _ _ _ _
_ [Am] To my ridge top.
_ [D] _ _
[B] Oh my [A] ridge top.
