Gore) Before I transcribe this I have to acknowledge VIKTOR HOLUBEK (email: holubek@managr.fm.uniba.sk). I figured out the keyboard configuration from his chord progressions right here at the same site. All I am just doing is adding on to his input. The intro is: G riff E -3--1-3---3-3--3--1-3-1-3-|| B --------------------------|| G --------------------------|| D --------------------------|| A --------------------------|| E --------------------------|| The Riff 1 chords and lines are: Dm C F D# E ---------1---|---------1---|-------------|----------------| B --3--1-3---3-|--3--1-3-----|---------1---|----------------| G -------------|-----------2-|--2--0-2---2-|--2--2--0-2-0---| D -------------|-------------|-------------|--------------3-| A -------------|-------------|-------------|----------------| E -------------|-------------|-------------|----------------| The Riff 2 chords (featured at the end of the chorus and mostly at the end of the verse when the song goes into the Cm, Bb, Gm, F progression): Dm C G riff E ---------------|--8--6-8-----|-3--1-3---3-3--3--1-3-1-3-|| B --3--1-3--3-1--|----------8--|--------------------------|| G ---------------|-------------|--------------------------|| D ---------------|-------------|--------------------------|| A ---------------|-------------|--------------------------|| E ---------------|-------------|--------------------------|| For the chorus (the Cm part), the keyboard plays: Cm Bb Gm F E -----8-----8-----|-----6-----6-----|-----------------|-----------3---3-|| B ---8---8-----8---|---6---6-----6---|-----8-----8-----|-----6---6---6---|| G -5-------5-----5-|-3-------3-----3-|---7---7-----7---|---5---5---------|| D -----------------|-----------------|-5-------5-----5-|-3---------------|| A -----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|| E -----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|| Those are basically all the keyboard lines. The lyrics are: Dm C G riff I~m taking a ride with my best friend Dm C G riff I hope he never lets me down again
DmHe knows where he~s Ctaking me GmTaking me where I Bbwant to be Dm C G riff I~m taking a ride with my best friend
Riff 2: Dm C G riff
CmWe~re flying Bbhigh We~re watching the Gmworld pass us Fby CmNever want to come Bbdown Never want to put my Gmfeet back down on the Fground
Riff 1: Dm C F D# Dm C G riff I~m taking a ride with my best friend Dm C G riff I hope he never lets me down again
DmPromises me I~m as Csafe as houses As Gmlong as I remember who~s Bbwearing the trousers Dm C G riff I hope he never lets me down again
Riff 2: Dm C G riff
CmWe~re flying Bbhigh We~re watching the Gmworld pass us Fby CmNever want to come Bbdown Never want to put my Gmfeet back down on the Fground
Dm C A Gm Dm C A Gm
DmNever let me Cdown ANever let me Gmdown DmNever let me Cdown ANever let me Gmdown DmSee the stars they~re Cshining bright AEverything is alGmright tonight...
For playing guitar, I highly suggest you to play the ending chords in this manner, as it does add gloom to the song: Dm C A Gm E -5--|-x--|-5--|-6--| B -6--|-5--|-5--|-8--| G -7--|-5--|-6--|-7--| D -7--|-5--|-7--|-5--| A -5--|-3--|-7--|----| E ----|----|-5--|----| And that is it.
