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
Em?7 = Em or Em7

D
Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home
                                                 A
I've been out here in this world too long on my own
G
I won't bother you no more
D
If you can just get me in the door
A                 Em?7		           D
Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home

D
When I started out I was so young and so strong
                                                    A
I just let it roll off my back when things went wrong
G
Now it's starting to get to me
D
All of this inhumanity
A                 Em?7                   D
Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home
	
G                       D
You wouldn't know it by looking at me now
G                             D
But I was showing some promise once upon a time
A	       G6add9
But it's gone now
A            G6add9
And it ain't coming back
A		 G6add9
My time's come and gone
A            G6add9
It's as simple as that

D
Hey Jesus this world is just too troublesome for me
                                                A
I try to fight off all these devils but I'm just too weak
G
When I'm out here walking all alone
D
I feel like taking my life but I won't
    A             Em?7                     D				
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
