by Jefferson Airplane




			   "Watch Her Ride"
			    (Paul Kantner)

Intro:	Gm7              Fm7                [see Notes for tuning/fingering]
	/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 1:

	Gm7                                  [verse 1: hold 2 extra beats]
	I didn't know you were the one for me, I couldn't see
	    
	But you were waiting for
	
	Someone to come along and help you out to sing your song
	   
	And I was changing

Chorus:

	  
	All I see is you
	Ebm7  Fm7            Gm7   [1: Dm7, to post-chorus; 2: D, to bridge]
	All I feel is you for me

Post-chorus:

	                                  
	And I would really like to watch you ride
	                
	And always feel you by my side
	                              
	I would really like to watch you ride
	      
	All on me

Verse 2:

	Now I go stumblin' to the sky and I seem to fly so high
	I see you, I feel you
	You have a way of walkin' 'round, your feet they never touch the ground
	And you are shining

	[repeat chorus; to bridge]

Bridge:

	[8-bar bass solo over D]

	
	Times don't change
	Times don't ever change for me and I know
	That you could be
	The only thing in my world
	The only thing that my mind could find for love
	Love and peace of mind for me
	For me...

	     
	Oh, oh, oh...

Verse 3:

	Your shadow in the morning sun becomes my fun and we can say
	I love you, I love you
	Now morning shines on silver beaches, your life flashes through the
	    reaches
	Of my mind, of my mind

Coda:

	   
	Of my mind
	                            
	And my mind becomes alive with you
	                 
	It's all that I can do
	                             
	To sit here and let you blow my mind
	                      
	Blow my mind, you're so fine
	                   
	In my mind, you're so fine
	                            
	[Paul:]  In my mind, you're so fine
	[Grace:] (...fine)     In my mind, you're so fine
	                        
	[Paul:]  In my mind, in my mind
	[Grace:]        In my mind, you're so fine
	                          
	[Paul:]  You're so fine
	[Grace:] In my mind

Notes:	

	The chords may sound like 7#9s, but there's definitely no major
	third in them.  They're actually minor 7ths voiced with the 7th
	and 3rd on top, with the low E tuned down to D to allow the root
	to be played on the lowest string without an otherwise-impossible
	finger reach:

	  555766	  333544	  111322

	  111111       111111
	     000211	     222433
