How else do you think I could talk to you
except through the music?
How else do you think I could stop
the confusion that’s in your mind?
Come on, sing me a song
as you come along to the music.
Each unto his own kind.

Now everybody knows that there’s nothing to know.
Everybody know that there’s no place left to go.
When you’re traveling fast it’s much better than slow.
Because it’s coming out quick and you know who you know.
Don’t look back just go, go. Don’t look back just go, go.
Just follow the music,
just follow the sound.
Just follow the music,
just follow the sound.

The clouds are close to the ground The wind has lost its sound.
The ocean is Empty and the world is turning upside down.

Ye though you walk through the valley of death
I’ll be beside you. Ride Away.
Yes and nearing the end so come on in and I’ll find you. Ride away.
He rides like the wind with his hair long and flowing.
Ain’t no crime ain’t no sin. in his eyes always knowing.
the fear is all gone
and the timeless winds are blowing.
His motor’s running good and
over the mountains he is going.
Ri?ah?ie?ah?ie?de Aw?ay.

Get on ride my way. Ride my way
The world is my play so come on man ride away.

Like the wind you do ride (ride away)
With your past far behind you (ride away)
We’ll find a place to hide (ride away)
Where the man won’t find you (ride away)

Get on ride away, come on ride my way, ride my way,
the world is my play man so come on ride my way then,
come on away man, you got to get underneath the man with a gun,
you know they ain’t out for having no fun

Throughout the song the strumming is pretty fast with the exception of the first “verse”
where there mostly are single strums.

This song is in D STANDARD tuning, and all the chords are relevant to this.

Bm: Em: A A(bar) Bm(bar)

x x x 5 7
x x 0 5 7
4 0 2 6 8
2 2 0 7 9
x 0 x 5 7

If you want, add a couple of hammerons/ pulloffs on the 3rd and 5th fret of the lower E
string while strumming the Em to make it sound
more like Mansons origional recording.

Intro:

Restless people

From a sick city

burnt their houses down

To make the sky look pretty

What can I do, I’m just a person

This is the line we always seem to hear

You just sit, things get worse

And watch TV and drink your beer

Walking all alone

Not going anywhere

Walking all alone

Nobody seemed to care

Restless as the wind

This town is killing me

Got to put an end to this [Bm(/A)]restless misery

Em A(bar)
I’m just one of those restless people

Bm(bar) A(bar)
Can never seem to be

Bm(bar) A(bar)
satisfied With living

in this sick old sick old

Sick city

It may be too late for me to say goodbye

And I might be too late

To watch this sick old city die

Going on the road

Yeah I’m gonna try

To say sick city so long goodbye

And die

(Listen for hammer-ons.)

You must live to find love
And you’ll try many times

But your heart is still young
And the true love you’ll find

You think that true love
Your first love at last

But the time will come
When the feeling will pass

Pass like a leaf on a windy day
Pass like the clouds after rain
So brush away every tiny tear
Your love will shine again

No, don’t cry my little one
Always think of tomorrow

One day, you’ll look back
And be glad for the sorrow

Oh yes, oh yes, your life has just begun
You’ll find yourself another man
So brush away all those tiny tears
Your love will shine again

No, don’t cry, don’t cry
Always think of tomorrow

One day, you’ll look back
And be glad for the sorrow

And gain strength from the sorrow

That’s about it for the main song.
Let me know what you think…
Have fun!

I’m your kind, oh your kind an’ I can see
You walk on walk on
I love you, pretty girl
My life is yours
Ah you can have my world

Never had a lesson, I ever learned
But I know, we all get our turn
An’ I love you
Never learn not to love you

Submission is a gift
Go on give it to your brother
Love and understandin'
Is for one another

I’m your kind, I’m your kind
I’m your brother

I never had a lesson, I ever learned
But I know we all, get our turn
An’ I love you

Never learn not to love you
Never learn not to love you
Never learn not to love you
