[Verse 1]
C Am Em G
On morning shadows, you were ill-spent
D G C F
"It's time", you said, or is it time you went
C Am Em G
I tried so hard to leave you, I tried to sleep
D G C Em F D/F# G
The hours you keep. Oh, Lord I wish I could escape this iron veil
[Chorus]
F C F C F G C Am Em G
Ride on my son. Ride on my son. Ride until you fail
[Verse 2]
C Am Em G
Something comes, and something goes
D G C F
And something dies, before it grows
C Am Em G
And I'm like a sea diver, who's lost in space
D G C Em F D/F# G
"Sweet", said His Grace. Oh, Lord I wish I could escape this iron veil
[Chorus]
F C F C F G C Am Em G
Ride on my son. Right on my son. Ride until you fail
