[Verse 1]
C D
In nineteen-fourteen this ball was at war
G C G C
It went from Belgium on through Ireland
G C D
The Congo, then back home
C D
This big blue ball of war spun on its own
G C G C
Spinning history in lines of blood
G C D
Yet not a soul fell off
[Chorus]
G
And we all ride on (we all ride)
Bm
This big blue ball of war
C G
Souls with tickets through the veil
D
We all ride on
G
We all ride on (we all ride)
Bm
This big blue ball of war
C G
We choose to spin around and ride
D G
This big blue ball of war
[Verse 2]
C D
Almost a century, the blood has flowed
G C G C
We've killed our men of peace around this ball
G C D
And refused to hear their ghosts
C D
We spend our destinies in deeds of hate
G C G C
Humanity upon this ball
G C D
Is just a bloody fall from grace
[Chorus]
G
And we all ride on (we all ride)
Bm
This big blue ball of war
C G
Souls with tickets through the veil
D
We all ride on
G
We all ride on (we all ride)
Bm
This big blue ball of war
C G
We choose to spin around and ride
D G
This big blue ball of war
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
C D
A reformation just might save us all
G C G C
A voice of harmony and open heart
G C D
Where the women teach the song
C D
These men of evil deed can be proven wrong
G C G C
The ball could spin if we join hand to hand
G C D
So not a soul falls off
[Chorus]
G
And we all ride on (we all ride)
Bm
This big blue ball of war
C G
Souls with tickets through the veil
D
We’ll all ride on
G
We’ll all ride on (we all ride)
Bm
This big blue ball of war
C G
We choose to spin around and ride
D G
This big blue ball of war
[Outro]
C G
We choose to spin around and ride
D G C C G
This big blue ball of war
