A Ride Back Home Tab

by John Cougar Mellencamp



      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
