JOHN (COUGAR) MELLENCAMP lyrics - A Ride Back Home This is my first time tabbing a song from scratch and I have no music training It's all from ear and watching the video. Em?7, either the Em or Em7 thats the only chord that I could make fit I'm not sure if even belongs. There's nothing technical about this, I just tab it so I could play it. I think it's better than the other C F capo version so I'm going to share it. G6add9 = 1st string third fret thats it ?7 = or Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home I've been out here in this world too long on my own I won't bother you no more If you can just get me in the door ?7 Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home When I started out I was so young and so strong I just let it roll off my back when things went wrong Now it's starting to get to me All of this inhumanity ?7 Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home You wouldn't know it by looking at me now But I was showing some promise once upon a time G6add9 But it's gone now G6add9 And it ain't coming back G6add9 My time's come and gone G6add9 It's as simple as that Hey Jesus this world is just too troublesome for me I try to fight off all these devils but I'm just too weak When I'm out here walking all alone I feel like taking my life but I won't ?7 Too big a coward, can you give me a ride back home Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home
