Intro: / A / 

A            A 
I walked in, there sat Slim 
A                                A 
Cleaning up his memory with some sapphire gin. 
    E               A    E          A 
Mr. Pain grabbed my arm, pulled me aside 
           D                          E 
And said, â??Kid, are you ready for the wild ride?â? 

A            A 
I looked up, there she stood, I said,  
        A                         A 
â??If you didnâ??t look so great, Iâ??d say you look good.â? 
E            A            E     A 
She took her hand, ran it up my thigh, 
           D                         E 
And said, â??Cowboy, you ready for the wild ride?â? 


                              A 
Come on now, Junior, take the wild ride 
                            A 
See, can you make it on the wild ride 
                            E 
Donâ??t try no shakinâ?? on the wild ride 
                                    A            A 
`Cause things start breakinâ?? on the wild ride 

A                      A 
Layinâ?? on the highway, I saw my mind 
   A                              A 
In tiny little pieces thrown from side to side. 
   E         A           E            A 
My heart was shattered, along with my pride  
D                                E 
 Guess you canâ??t keep â??em on the wild ride 


                              A 
Come on now, Junior, take the wild ride 
                            A 
See, can you make it on the wild ride 
                            E 
Donâ??t try no shakinâ?? on the wild ride 
                                    A 
`Cause things start breakinâ?? on the wild ride 

Chorus Solo: / A / A / E / A / x2  Then:  / A / 

      A                           A 
I was crawlinâ?? cross the floor, I tried to leave, when I 
A                               A 
Felt something tugginâ?? what was left of my sleeve 
          E      A            E           A 
I heard a little voice with a gold-plated vibe 
       D                         E 
Sayinâ?? I bought a ticket for the wild ride 

Chorus: 
                          A 
Come on, Junior, take the wild ride 
                           A 
See, can we make it on the wild ride 
                             E 
Letâ??s try to shake it on the wild ride 
                              A 
We might just break it on the wild ride 

                          A 
Come on, Junior, take the wild ride 
                            A 
See, can we make it on the wild ride 
                            E 
Letâ??s try to shake it on the wild ride 
                              A 
We might just break it on the wild ride 

                                  A 
Come on, come on; take me on the wild ride 
                          A 
See can we make it on the wild ride. 
                            E 
Come on and shake me on the wild ride. 
                               A 
You might just break me on the wild ride.
