[Verse 1]
C#m                          B A  B
It's another night in Los Angeles
C#m                         B A    B
My passport is restless in my boot
C#m                                B A  B
And my thoughts take wings to wonder
C#m                      A    B
"Get up" they say man "vamoose"
C#m                            B A     B
And I think about my thoughts of Paris
C#m                                  B A  B
Of fine wine, women and precious things
C#m                                            B A  B
And I think about my life on the midnight highway
C#m                    B A
The life of a renegade king

[Verse 2]
       E                            C#m
Twenty years they've called me a bandit
       E                        C#m
Twenty years I've been on the run
       E                  C#m
Twenty years defending my honor
       E                C#m F#m  E
Twenty years harming no one

[Chorus]
B     A
And I ride
        C#m         A             C#m
I ride alone, yes I ride, I ride alone

[Verse 3]
     E                C#m
They say there goes a strange one
   E                C#m
He sits back to the wall
E              C#m
Noticing conversation
E                  C#m F#m E
Rarely speaking at all

[Chorus]
B      A                C#m
And he rides, he rides alone
       A                C#m
Yes he rides, he rides alone

[Verse 4]
     E                    C#m
It's true I'm not much on talking
     E                       C#m
It's true there's not much I know
    E                          C#m
But one thing I've learned for certain
    E                 C#m F#m E
You reap whatever you sow

[Chorus]
B       A               C#m
And you ride, you ride alone
        A               C#m
Yes you ride, you ride alone

[Verse 4]
          E                C#m
There's a hawk high in the heaven
  E                 C#m
A truly magnificent bird
   E                 C#m
He waits on wings of silver
   E                  C#m F#m E
To bring the glorious word

[Chorus]
B      A                C#m
And he flies, he flies alone
       A           C#m
Yes he flies, he flies alone
