[Verse 1]
    A
I'm headed out tonight
 for a real cheap thrill
    A
Got trash can charm,
           F#m7
 a bag of pills
   E
My face ain't much but
    F#m7     A
 it pays the bills

[Verse 2]
          A
I'm just another drunk
in another bar
A
Murdering songs on a
        F#m7
dead guitar
     E
They wreck my fist but
       F#m7   A
 could fix my heart

[Chorus]
                Dsus2
Did you come to watch
me choke?
                Dsus2
Did you come to watch
            A
me choke? Again
                Dsus2
Did you come to watch
me choke?
                Dsus2
Did you come to watch
            A
me choke? Again

[Verse 3]
A
Rock and roll's my
favorite sin
      A
Man I don't know if
             F#m7
I'm good at it
        E
But I'm too in love or
  F#m7    A
 dumb to quit

[Chorus]
                Dsus2
Did you come to watch
me choke?
                Dsus2
Did you come to watch
            A
me choke? Again
                Dsus2
Did you come to watch
me choke?
                Dsus2
Did you come to watch
            A
me choke? Again

[Verse 4]
       A
I'm a skeleton wrapped
 in gasoline
        A
I don't give a damn
 about a god damn thing
A
Double or nothing,
let it ride
      A
I'm a lousy bet but
I ain't tonight man

How to play Let It Ride: key, chords and progression

These are Let It Ride chords by Beach Slang on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Let It Ride by Beach Slang is built around A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), with 4 chords in all: A, F#m7, E and Dsus2.

Listen for A – F#m7 – E – F#m7 (I – vi7 – V – vi7 in A major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – lah – soh – lah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: F#m7 is the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele it is simpler.
