Ride Like The Wind Chords by Christopher Cross

_ _ _ How about this band, huh? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'd like to bring out a very special friend, somebody who in the very beginning of my [Am] career lent his name and his
_ [N] magical voice to my music, which I think really made a tremendous difference
with my acceptance at radio and really helped me get my start.
_ And it was very gracious of him considering I was sort of a nobody from
_ Texas. _
He's become a good friend and he flew all the way from Nashville, Tennessee to be part of this tonight. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Please welcome Michael McDonald. _ _ _
