[D]
I don't [E] like to be on the ride alone.
I have a little more of my voice.
I may only ride a little more.
On the top of the hill.
I'm only going to the top of the hill.
You know the corn had a wildflower there.
The bird keep singing this after you're dead.
On a mission to a big old world.
We can have a little chat about the bird.
But get me on the ride alone.
Stop and get me on the ride alone.
[G] Stop and get me on the [Gm] ride alone.
I'm only going to the top of the [E] hill.
I'm [D] only going to the top of the hill.
I like the music.
I can't stop the feeling.
It's like I'm a little girl on a fence.
Dig a little deep in me.
I don't expect my tootie to leave me sometime.
Stop and get me on the ride [E] alone.
Stop and get me on the ride alone.
[D] Stop and get me on the ride alone.
I'm only going to the top of the hill.
I'm only going to the top of the hill.
There's a pebbly little beauty way.
I'm hanging a [G] mattress on the green [D] way.
The moon rises over yonder street.
I step to see you [Gm] sit and I egg the [Dm] taste of meat.
I've older, I've burned out seven again.
[D] I'll never run up a seven again.
[E] I need the bed and I'll pour you a wine.
But on the bed there's underarms that's flying off.
Stop and get me on the ride [D] alone.
Stop and get me on the ride alone.
Stop and get me on the ride alone.
I'm only going to the top of the hill.
I'm only going to the top of the hill.
I'm a little [Gm] candy [E] and sugar.
[Bb]
Six [Dm] times sugar.
[G] [D]
Only to smile upon.
A red river and [E] candy monsters.
[A]
47 [G] mules to pull [D] this train.
You get [E] married in the orange rain.
You need the differential money of birth.
You load the wagon to the end of the world.
[D]
Stop and get me on the ride alone.
[E]
Stop and get me on the ride alone.
Stop and get me on the ride alone.
I'm only going to the top of the hill.
I'm only going to the top of the hill.
[D] I'm only going to [G] the top [E] of the hill.
[Bb] What's it gonna be [G] to be [Bb] somebody of born?
[D] [B]
A golden god or whatever you [E] are.
Be empowered to my good me.
To roll over and see me see.
[Gm] Stop and get [D] me on the ride alone.
Stop and get me on the ride alone.
Stop and get me on the ride alone.
I'm only going to the top of the hill.
