——————-
G
You don’t have to go anywhere
G
you don’t have to do anything
A
All you’ve got to do in this world is Ride
C G
All you’ve got to do is Ride
It’s the end of a lond, hard decade —
and before the next long, hard decade
By the end of which a million creatures
yet unborn will die
All you’ve got to do is Ride
C
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me —
G
that’s what all the papers say
C
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me —
G
please don’t let me get away
C
But if you don’t love yourself
C
What’s the use in someone else
D
Loving you?
You don’t have to sharpen yourself —
you’re imbedded deep as it is
All you’ve got to do in this world is Ride
All you’ve got to do is Ride
You don’t have to worship a cheque —
you don’t have to sleep with a judge
All you’ve got to do in this world is Ride
All you’ve got to do is Ride
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me —
that’s what everybody says
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me —
please don’t let me get away
But if you don’t love yourself
What’s the use in someone else
Loving you?
C D
So put down your hands, pick up your head — and Ride
G
Sitting in a carriage in the pouring rain —
A
In Swindon
C G
With an anorak
G A C G
Better ride on ho — o — me (x4)
