solo performer finds this useful. This sounds really good solo, I mean, Ryan did it! I

Moving like the fog on the Cumberland River

I was leaving on the Delta Queen

I'm never ready to go

27 years of nothing but failures
       Fmaj                  C/E
and promises that I couldn't keep, Oh Lord
    Fmaj     C/E      G
and I wasn't ready to go
Fmaj      C/E      G
I'm never ready to go

       Am
Let it ride

Let it take away all of the darkness
       Am
Let it ride
               Fmaj   C/E     G         C/E
Let it rock me in the arms of strangers angels

Until it brings me home

Let it ride. Let it roll, Let it go

Loaded like a sailor tumbling off a ferryboat
Fmaj                  C/E
I was at the bar till three, Oh Lord
    Fmaj     C/E      G
and I wasn't ready to go

I'm never ready to go

Am
Tennessee's a brother to my sister Carolina
      Fmaj                 C/E
Where they were gonna bury me
    Fmaj    C/E      G
and I ain't ready to go
Fmaj      C/E      G
I'm never ready to go

In a parking lot in the headlights of cars

Some place on the moon
