Ride Captain Ride

Blues Image

 

Intro: D-C-D-C

 

 Dsus2  D         Dsus2  D

 Seventy three men sailed up

          E          E7    E F F#

 From the San Francisco bay

 G7

 Rolled off of their ship

      G6              Dsus2 D   Dsus2 D

 And here’s what they had to say

 

       Dsus2  D              Dsus2  D

 We’re calling everyone to ride along

 E      E7       E F F#

 To another shore

 G7                     G6

 We can laugh our lives away

        Dsus2  D       Dsus2  D

 And be free once more

 

 

 Dsus2  D          Dsus2  D

 No one heard them calling

 E            E7    E F F#

 No one came at all

 G7

 Cause they were too busy watching

   G6      Dsus2 D        D5  Dsus4  D

 Those old raindrops fall                 

 

 Dsus2  D       Dsus2  D

 As a storm was blowin

 E            E7      E F F#

 Out on a peaceful sea

 G7                        G6    Dsus2 D   D5  Dsus4  D

 Seventy three men sailing on to history

 

 

CHORUS:

 D                             A

 Ride captain ride   upon your mystery ship

 A  B  C                                  D

 Be  amazed at the friends  you're having on your trip

 D                             A

 Ride captain ride   upon your mystery ship

 A   B   C                            D

 On your way  to a world  that others might have missed

 

 

  (next, play pre-solo riff 1x, and then play D-Bb-D-Bb-A chords

   during 1st solo...)

 

  (...now go back and sing/play 1st eight lines of verse (up to

   and including "and be free once more" line...))

 

  (..finally, sing/play chorus again 2x, and then just play

     chorus chords as 2nd solo fades out)
