The Ride, By: David Allen Coe

[albert_d]

You don’t have to call me darlin’, darlin’. Good use of a capo. Go get ‘em.

Thanks! That’s the next one on my radar! After I make myself learn the full F chord, I could always fall back to the mini F chord but I really need to quit dancing around these Barr chords and nock-em out! LOL!

[That_Guy]

Nice. You got the voice down good. This song came up on my Waylon station on Pandora yesterday.

Probably wont ever do it but always thought it would be cool to do David Allan Coe’s song where the lyrics start out “in an Alabama graveyard on cold December day a young man with the guitar stares into space and plays. There’s no one there to listen. There’s no one there but him and the ghost of Hank Williams sings “your cheating heart” again”

[outdoorgator]

WOW, so cool! You came up with that verse? 👍

That may work with the same chords as the ride? Then the first chorus could switch over to the rhythm and words of your cheating heart will tell on you! LOL! Then do another verse from the grave yard and the 2nd chorus could match that with another Hank Sr. clip with a rhythm change.

[outdoorgator]

Ok, I got the 2nd chorus! LOL!

If you have Ultimate Guitar search for: Faded love and winter roses, by Hank Sr. All you need now is the second verse of the guitar player looking over his shoulder at a winter rose that reminded him of a lost love. then plug in this Hank Sr. verse.

D                            A                       D
Faded love and winter roses, sprinkled with a lonely tear
                             A                       D
Faded love and winter roses, still recall each yesteryear
 
[Verse 4]
G                            D                       A
Will I always be a dreamer?  Dreaming of the used to be
D                            A                   D
Faded love and winter roses, live and die in memory

[outdoorgator]

LOL! Found the closing portion of your song.

Just create a 3rd verse of the graveyard mourner talking about how he can’t wait until he may see his lost love again. Then plug in this as the last verse.

Ready to go home by Hank Sr.

        E                     A                E
There's coming a day when the world shall melt away
                                  B
And Jesus shall come to claim his own
        E                            A              E
No more tears no pain no woe in this wicked world below
                 B           E
Then will you be ready to go home 

[outdoorgator]

You could talk out your words of the December Grave yard mourner then play rhythm guitar to each of the Hank Sr. versus.

[That_Guy]

Lol no I didn’t make it up. It’s a David Allan Coe song called the ghost of Hank Williams.

LOL!! OOPS!

I have heard just about all his songs but that one! Even the older ones on the album called “To hot for radio” very explicit. I will definitely look this one up. Thanks!
