Ride On
by Christy Moore
[Am] Its true you ride the finest horse [F] I have ever seen,
[G] Standing sixteen, one or two. with [Am] eyes wild and green,
You ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch,
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.
( Chorus
Ride on, see you
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.
Ride on, see you
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to. )
When you ride in to the night without a trace behind,
Run your claw along my gut one last time.
I turn to face an empty space where you used to lie,
And look for the spark that lights the night through a teardrop in my eye.
Chorus
No matter how I wanted to.
No matter how I wanted to.
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.
[G] Standing sixteen, one or two. with [Am] eyes wild and green,
You ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch,
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.
( Chorus
Ride on, see you
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.
Ride on, see you
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to. )
When you ride in to the night without a trace behind,
Run your claw along my gut one last time.
I turn to face an empty space where you used to lie,
And look for the spark that lights the night through a teardrop in my eye.
Chorus
No matter how I wanted to.
No matter how I wanted to.
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.
