Emitt Rhodes - Come Ride, Come Ride (from The American Dream)

[Intro]
A C A C A C

[Verse 1]
A C D C
Hearing children as they laugh and they sing
G C D A
Pulling brass rings, dreaming all sorts of things
A C D C
And the stare in their mother's eyes, both fear and de-light
G C D A
She's shaking from fright but she knows every-thing's all right

[Chorus]
A C G D
Come ride, come ride, come ride up and down
D C A
The merry-go, merry-go-round.

[Verse 2]
A C D C
Pictures bring back thoughts and things from the past
G C D A
Memories they last even though time it will pass
A C D C
For memories are real when there is nothing more
G C D A
When-ever you're bored and there's nothing to live for.

[Chorus]
A C G D
Come ride, come ride, come ride up and down
D C A
The merry-go, merry-go-round.

[Bridge]
C D C G
An old man he sits and he rocks in his chair
C D C D A
Waiting to die, the boy starts to cry but the man he cannot
C D C G
'Cause he's lived far too long and there is nothing left
C D C D A
Visions of youth and he serves no more use than a book on the

shelf.

[Instrumental]
Em/G G C/E G C D C D A C A C

[Verse 3]
A C D C
Life is sweet when you've lost all your fear
G C D A
Death it is near, your cares they will disappear
A C D C
So you sit and re-member the gay laughing sound
G C D A
The ups and the downs of your ride on the merry-go-round.
