I Ride In Your Slipstream

Richard Thompson


Tom: Em

C              Em
I ride in your slipstream
C           Em
I wear your reflection
C           Em
I echo your heartbeat
       F#m   Am    Em
In the wind

[verse 2]
C                   Em
You might say we're lovers
C                   Em
You might say we're strangers
C                   Em
You think you don't know me
            F#m   Am    Em
But you're wearing my ring

[bridge]
Am
Good dream, bad dream
                  Em
Just don't mean a thing
Am
Good road, bad road.
                  Em
Just don't mean a thing
D           F#m          B
Down in the while of the wheels
       C        D
You'll hear me sing

[solo]
C Em x3
F#m Am Em

[verse 3]
C                                    Em
I'm like a TV eye in the sky but I'm right behind you
C                                       Em
I'm like your signed confession but I'm right behind you
C                                         Em
I'm like the child you never were but I'm right behind you
       F#m   Am    Em
Let's ride

[verse 4]
C              Em
I ride in your slipstream
C                Em
But don't try to touch me
C                Em
Just trust me to love you
        F#m   Am    Em
I love you
