Rhondas Last Ride

Am Em C D


[Verse 1]
          G                        
She was found in her bedroom with a
   C
 note on the wall
        Em          D             
Saying take me or leave me, it 
  G        C          Em
don't matter now at all
        G                          
Her passing made the papers though 
       C
there weren't much to say
       Em          D        G    
Just a girl of the night takes 
            C        Em
her life at midday


[Verse 2]
          G                        
She was fond of the ladies and good 
C
to the men
              Em            
And she could take you 'bout 
   D             G          C     Em
anywhere that you'd never been
       G                         C
Though I never touched her we'd walk
 every day
       Em          D             
Heading west down Sunset talking 
G              C
our lives away


[Chorus]
               D                   
Said she could walk on the 
    Am            Em
waterbed, shoot out the lights
            D                      
Take you up to the limits, push you
   C        G
 over the line

              D                    
Said if you wanna see God, brother,
   Am         Em  Bm7 Em
 close your eyes...
  C              G              D
This one's for Rhonda's last ride


[Verse 3]
         G         F         
There's a town in Nevada, just 
      C
across the state line
       Em         D         G    
Where Rhonda grew up ahead of her
    C      Em
 time
       G                           
Why, if I had to say, it's her daddy
C
 to blame
      Em          D       
Old desert rat Cody set her 
    G             C      Em
childhood to flame


[Verse 4]
               G                   
And there were GI's and truckers 
    C
and ghosts of the road
          Em        D         
On their way up to Vegas they'd 
   G          C          Em
lighten their load
         G                        
Yeah there was many a lover but nary
C
 complained
          Em       D         G   
And it was many a man who'd call 
         C
out her name


[Chorus]
       D                           
Said she could walk on the 
     Am          Em
waterbed, shoot out the lights
       D                     C    
Take you up to the limits, push 
             G
you over the line
        D                          
Said if you wanna see God, brother,
   Am        Em Bm7 Em
 close your eyes...
       C         G             D
This one's for Rhonda's last ride


[Verse 5]
       G                       C
I'm not here to tell you she died 
out of shame
         Em         D            
In her last chosen moment, her 
G            C     Em
lips cursed no name
          G                 C
Not Cody nor Jesus, not a cry out 
for love
     Em       D            
She told me to tell you that 
   G            C
leaving's enough


[Chorus]
     D                             
Yeah she could walk on the 
    Am         Em
waterbed, shoot out the lights
      D                            
Take you up to the limits, push you
 C           G
 over the line
       D                           
Said if you wanna see God, you 
            Am         Em
wanna see God, close your eyes...
      C              G            
Yeah this one's for Rhonda's last
