The Moody Blues are an English rock band formed in Birmingham in 1964, initially consisting of keyboardist Mike Pinder, multi-instrumentalist Ray Thomas, guitarist Denny Laine, drummer Graeme Edge, and bassist Clint Warwick.
They first came to prominence playing rhythm and blues music. After some early lineup changes, the band settled on a line-up of Pinder, Thomas, Edge, guitarist Justin Hayward and bassist John Lodge, which would stay together for most of the band's "classic era" through the late 1960s-early 1970s.

Intro riff
A Ride..., ride my see-saw, GA Take this place on this trip just for me. A Ride..., take a free ride, GA Take my place, have my seat, it's for free.
AGDA I worked like a slave for years, AGDA Sweat so hard just to end my fears, AGDA Not to end my life a poor man, GA But by now, I know I should have run.
A Run..., run my last race, GA Take my place, have this number of mine. A Run..., run like a fire, GA But don't you run in, in the lanes, run for time.
AGDA Left school with a first-class pass, AGDA Started work but as second class. AGDA School taught one and one is two, GA But by now, that answer just ain't true.
AGDA My world is spinning around, AGDA Everything is lost that I found, AGDA People run, come ride with me, GA Let's find another place that's free...
A Ride..., ride my see-saw, GA Take this place on this trip just for me. A Ride..., take a free ride, GA Take my place, have my seat, it's for free.
A Ride my see-saw. AGAGA Ride.., ride..., ride..., my see-saw. AGA Ride my see-saw. AGA Ride my see-saw.
