Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am | - |

[Verse 1]
Am                         C6/G   Fmaj7/C
  Mountains rough this time    of year   
              C
Close the highway down
               Gadd11
They don't warn      the town
Am                      C6/G
  I've been figh tin' second gear
Fmaj7/C                 C
       For fifteen miles or so
               Gadd11
Tryna beat the angry snow
Em                              Dm
  And I know every town worth passing through
               C
What good does knowing do
               Gadd11
With no one to show  it to?

[Chorus]
                    C
And I've grown tired of traveling alone
     Gadd11
tired      of traveling alone
                Am
I've grown tired  of traveling alone
C6/G          Fmaj7/C
Won't you ride       with me?
                C
I've grown tired of traveling alone
     Gadd11
tired      of traveling alone
                Am
I've grown tired  of traveling alone
C6/G          Fmaj7/C
Won't you ride       with me?
Won't you ride?
C               Gadd11
 Won't you ride?

[Verse 2]
Am                 C6/G  Fmaj7/C
  I quit talking to    myself
                 C
Listening to the radio
          Gadd11
Long, long      time ago
Am                      C6/G    Fmaj7/C
  Damn near strangled by    my appetite
               C
Ybor City on a Friday night
                   Gadd11
Couldn't even stand      up right
Em
  So high,
                              Dm
the street girls wouldn't take  my pay
                           C
They said come see me on a better day
               Gadd11
She just danced      away

[Chorus]
                    C
And I've grown tired of traveling alone
     Gadd11
tired      of traveling alone
                Am
I've grown tired  of traveling alone
C6/G          Fmaj7/C
Won't you ride       with me?
                C
I've grown tired of traveling alone
     Gadd11
tired      of traveling alone
                Am
I've grown tired  of traveling alone
C6/G          Fmaj7/C
Won't you ride       with me?
Won't you ride?
C               Gadd11
 Won't you ride?

[Bridge]
G#
Paintin' the outside lane,
                         A#  C
I'm tired of answering to  myself
G#                                                  A#
Heart like a rebuilt part I don't know how much it's
   C
got left
How much it's got left

[Solo]
C Gadd11 Am C6/G
Fmaj7/C                C
       I've grown tired of traveling alone

[Chorus]
     Gadd11
tired      of traveling alone
                Am
I've grown tired  of traveling alone
C6/G          Fmaj7/C
Won't you ride       with me?
                C
I've grown tired of traveling alone
     Gadd11
tired      of traveling alone
                Am
I've grown tired  of traveling alone
C6/G          Fmaj7/C
Won't you ride       with me?
Won't you ride?
C
 Won't you ride?
