Song: "Just Along For the Ride"
Artist:  Cory Morrow
Transcribed by Zac Robinson (zacrobinson at tamu.edu)

A very good song by Cory Morrow.  There are really only three parts to it.
I almost forgot   You have to CAPO on the 3rd fret to play along with the CD.
I play it about anywhere (depends on what my voice is doing for the day)
Bridge:

      Am                 F    G
e ----0--0-0--0-0--0-0---1----3---------------------------
B ----1--3p1--0h1--3p1---1----3---------------------------
G ----2--2-2--2-2--2-2---2----0---------------------------
D ----2--2-2--2-2--2-2---3----0---------------------------
A ----0--0-0--0-0--0-0--------2---------------------------
E ----------------------------3---------------------------

Its just Am F G  with some hammer-ons, pull-offs from the pinky.  Sounds 
good to finger pick it instead of playing the chords.

Verses

e -0-0-0-0--1--3---
B -1-1-0-1--1--3---
G -2-2-2-2--2--0---
D -2-2-2-2--3--0---
A -0-0-0-0-----2---
E -------------3---

JustAm with a pull off and F and G

Chorus:
    C      F                   G       C    
And I was just along for the ride
  C         F                   G         
where the train was bound I don't know
   C      C(B) Am         
but I'll ride
                  F    G               C    C(B)   Am      
I just wanted to go farther then I've been
              F    G                   
And now I'm along for the ride again

The bridge is played in between each verse and before and after the Chorus

Lyrics:

He took the picture from the wall
He handed to me and he swore
Son I done nothing wrong
I was framed all along

Now they lied right from the start
When they stole my lonely heart
In the picture that you hold 
lies the hidden truth untold

CHORUS
And I was just along for the ride
where the train was bound I don't know
but I'll ride
I just wanted to go farther then I've been
And now I'm along for the ride again

It was a long cold rainy day
They kept their smiles at bay
To them it was just a game 
to play with my life this way

When the first man drew his gun
Silence befell everyone
Oh but a girl she ran for the door
And he gunned her down to the floor

So we grabbed the loot and we rode
For a posse would soon be formed
Oh but the girl she lay so cold
As pale as the untouched snow

CHORUS

Now we'd ride though rain and snow
Not knowing which way to go
This will be my last ride
Ill take my leave tonight

And the day before we were found
In a picture we all gathered around
Four men in the light
I was the only one that was blind

But know I sit in this cell 
I'm awaiting my day in hell
So boy you listen good
There ain't no refuge in the hood

There's nobody to blame
I'm a fool in my own acclaim
I  thought I'd been so wise
But these men proved my demise

And the train goes down the line
For a different town each night
In search of a boy like me
In search of the youth in me

CHORUS


And thats it.  If you have any questions or comments send them to

what pattern do you use for the finger picking?
-keithpetru | 4/22/2003
This is the pattern that I use

1-pointer finger
2-thumb

e------1----]
B-------1---]
D--1--------]
G----2------]
A-----------]
E-----------]

This is all correct except for the fact that
cory morrow uses all five fingers not just
two. It is really amazing if you've seen
him play it. Also after he does the intro
with the real fast finger picking he starts
off the "body" of the song with this lick
and will play it every three or four stanzas
that he sings.
Am
e----------------------------------------
b-----0h1-0--3-0h1-0-----0------0-----
g----------------------------------------
d---2------------------0-------0----------
a--0--------------------------------------
E--------------------1------3--------------
and he'll play that lick a few times and
then go back to singing. This is played
really quickly using all five fingers.
Listen for it and you'll hear it. Try it
and tell me if i'm crazy or not.

hey are you sure that is not the same riff that I called the bridge up above? They are close to the same. Just finger pick it and play a bar-F instead of the other one. (133211 as opposed to xx3211)

if not then i will listen again. Thanks.
-zacrobinson | 2/19/2004
After listening to it several times
I think your right. Or at least he
doesn't start out with a hit on the
first fret like i have it.
But he does walk the base line
after he plays it. In the verse when
you play the bar chord f and then the g,
instead of doing that just walk the base
line with your index finger and middle finger
never moving your ring finger off of the g
string. This makes it easier to go back to
a minor. It is shown in my other comment.
You can't hardly hear
it on the song, but it sounds right and i
saw him play it. however i may be wrong,
this is just my interpertation. Try it
and tell me if you like it.
