Ride - Here and Now
Intro and verse riff:
F#7 A
|--------------------|--------------------|
|--------------------|--------------------|
|------9------9----9-|------9------9----9-|
|-11-9---11-9---11---|-11-9---11-9---11---|
|--------------------|--------------------|
|--------------------|--------------------|
D B
|--------------------|-------------------|
|--------------------|-------------------|
|------9------9----9-|-----9------9----9-|
|-12-9---12-9---11---|-9-9---9-11---11---|
|--------------------|-------------------|
|--------------------|-------------------|
For the intro repeat that 4 times, twice with only one guitar and twice with the
(heavily distorted) chords and harmonica part on top. For the verse repeat the riff 4 times. An
example of how the chords fit in with the verses:
F#7 A
The bridge holds back the sky
D B
Can't hold back what's inside
F#7 A
And the train above me
D B
Sounds like the music in my head
My thoughts are undecided
I think it so I hide it
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone too fast
I wish that I was stronger
Could keep my head for longer
I sit and watch my fear
But it won't disappear
I can dream myself away
Lose myself for days
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone too fast
Between these verses, repeat the riff (with the harmonica part) twice.
Then there's the bridge, which has only chords:
B A E D
All I know, all I know
B A E D
All I know is here and now
After that, repeat the riff twice. Then comes this part (which features prominent bass
guitar in the song):

|--------------------|-----------------|
Play it twice, then the riff twice. Repeat the bridge section (the "All I know is here
and now" thing), and this variation on the riff written above twice. Then you have the
last verse (same riff and chords as in the beginning):
And the train rushes past
Like a day gone too fast
And the train rushes past
Like a life gone too fast
Repeat intro riff twice, then, while fading out, the main riff is repeated 4 times with
this barely audible part played over it:
|--------------|--------------------|--------------|
|--------------|--------------------|--------------|
|--------------|--------------------|--------------|
|-11-9-11---11-|-11-11-11--9-----11-|-11-9-11---11-|
|--------------|-------------12-----|--------------|
|--------------|--------------------|--------------|
|-----------------|-----------|
|-----------------|-----------|
|-----------------|-----------|
|-11-11-11-9------|-9---------|
|------------12---|-----------|
|-----------------|-----------|
This goes on with different variations, this is basically improvised.
