Intro riff


A
Ride..., ride my see-saw,
                G                                A
Take this place on this trip just for me.
A
Ride..., take a free ride,
               G                                      A
Take my place, have my seat, it's for free.


A  G                  D         A
I  worked like a slave for years,
A             G               D          A
Sweat so hard just to end my fears,
A         G        D               A
Not to end my life a poor man,
             G                                  A
But by now, I know I should have run.


A
Run..., run my last race,
                 G                                   A
Take my place, have this number of mine.
A
Run..., run like a fire,
                         G                                 A
But don't you run in, in the lanes, run for time.


A      G                 D              A
Left school with a first-class pass,
A          G                 D         A
Started work but as second class.
A          G                    D        A
School taught one and one is two,
            G                                   A
But by now, that answer just ain't true.






A     G           D          A
My world is spinning around,
A       G         D              A
Everything is lost that I found,
A          G            D            A
People run, come ride with me,
          G                                A
Let's find another place that's free...


A
Ride..., ride my see-saw,
                 G                               A
Take this place on this trip just for me.
A
Ride..., take a free ride,
                 G                                    A
Take my place, have my seat, it's for free.


A
Ride my see-saw.
A         G        A              G     A
Ride.., ride..., ride..., my see-saw.
A            G    A
Ride my see-saw.
A            G    A
Ride my see-saw.
