Chords for Tommy Castro - Ride - Don Odell's "Legends"

_ _ _ [F] _ I got to tell a little story [A] to set this up because otherwise [Em] you'll just think I'm out
of my mind.
But [A] there is a method to my [D] madness.
_ [A] _ _ [Em] My band started out in [Am] a little neighborhood of San Francisco, California, _ known as North [E] Beach.
_ [Am] _ _ And _ [Bm] for years and years [Am] and years it's been the kind of place [A] that is _ [C] inhabited by _ _ writers,
_ [B] poets, [Am] artists, [D] musicians, _ _ [C] maniacs, drunks, _ crazy [D] people, [C] interesting characters.
You know the type, very [D] interesting characters.
[Bm] [Em] All seem to like to hang out in that neighborhood.
And we started [D] out, [C] our band, when we [Am] started there was like three blues bars [D] on one [Em] block.
_ [C] And a lot of [B] times I didn't even have to put my stuff back in the car.
We'd just roll it [F] from one joint to the next.
We'd be there [Am] the next night.
And I figured while I was rolling my amp down there I might as well [D] get [C] a free drink at
the next place.
_ [Am]
So there were [D] a lot of long nights, [C] a lot of _ good times, [D] a lot of insanity.
[C] _ _ I always used [Am] to think, man, [D] _ [Em] I'd go into that neighborhood with the best of intentions on
my [Am] nights off just to hang out with my friends, maybe sit in with one of the [C] bands and have
a drink [Am] or something like that.
[F] _ Get home [A]
early [D] and be a good boy.
_ _ [Am] _ That [D] hardly ever [Am] happened that way.
[F] And I started to think that the [A] spirits of all of those cats that came to North [B] Beach
to write or to [A] paint or to play [Am] music, _ I would think that their [D] spirits were still [C] wandering
around in the neighborhood.
And they'd see me coming _ and they'd say, here comes Tommy.
[Am] Oh, [Bm] let's take him [E] out for a spin.
Something like that.
So this [D] song came about [B] _ _ with that in mind. _
[D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [C] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] I had good intentions [A] when I started [D] out.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[F#m] _ [A] No going [B] back now, I've got [Am] to ride this out. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ [Em] I'm with spirits of [Am] madmen and ravens [D] of the night.
[C] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ [Em] I know I'm doing [Am] wrong, but it feels [D] so right.

[D] _ [Am] The ghost of pimps and [Em] hustlers and [D] long Cadillacs.
_ [Am] Geniuses [C] and maniacs and [D] dagger wax.
_ [F] Reach out to me from the other [D] side.
[C] They possess my body and rule [D] my mind.
