          ..........This is 1 cool song.........one of my favs.....
Just sit by the seashore and play this one to get the "waves"
effect.....Yeah!

  CRDS :  E A D G B e
 D7sus :  x x 0 2 1 3

Rest of the chords are pretty simple......just play open chords ....and
maybe you could Barre the F.

Note: when on D7, switching from D7 to Dsus7 and when on Dsus7, make sure
you hit the high "e" string (thinnest).....to get that 'catchy sound'.
(Try doing this using an upstroke and the end of each chord)

strumming: Freestyle or arpeggio.....whichever sounds better to you.

.........this one's from memory........the chord switch makes sense from
the 2nd verse......enjoy!


Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan

Am              D7  D7sus D7
Riders on the storm

          Am             D7  D7sus D7
There's a killer on the road

              Am               D7   D7sus D7
His brain is squirmin' like a toad

     Dm            G  Dm  G
Take a long holiday

Am                 D7  D7sus D7
Let your children play

        C
If ya give this man a ride

        G          F
Sweet family will die

Am              D7 D7sus D7
Killer on the road,   yeah.......   (Repeat sequence)

Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Wow!

Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm

Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm.........fade ...
