In all you'll see;

*Note you hammer onto, then pull off of normal [Am] between the F's
you play the [Am2] quickly when changing to the G [you slide the whole F up to the G]
F [Am] F
You sit out there in the coverin'-
F [Am2] G
In the baskings of the holy night
G Am G
And I was lucid and conscious
G F
And hovering like a firefly
F [Am] F
I’m lying stretched out on the canopy
F [Am2] G
It put it's arms out slow
G Am G
And I heard the whispers of silence
G
Floating down from the radio
[Chorus]
F
So come on, come on I'm ready now
G
I got the feeling honey like I'm ready to roll... [ohhh]
F
You see I’m not gonna wait till the end of me
G
Cause I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul [ahhhh ohhh]
[Verse 2]
F [Am] F
I saw the light from a kettle gun
F [Am2] G
16 days under a Southern Sun
G Am G
And there were times when I thought that
G F
I wouldn't mind it if I lost my mind out there
F [Am] F
You wouldn't believe me if I told you so
F G
The things I saw were enough to make the man in me a man in me
[Am2] G
Mmm make a man of me
[Chorus 2]
F
So come on, come on I’m ready now
G
Go get your things out honey, let’s get ready to roll...
F
Oh I can feel the wave coming over me
G
I’ve been waiting for this day too long just to let it all go...
[Bridge]
F
As a child I was wonder-eyed
Am
At the thought that I might know
F C G
A life in the ecstasy of rock’n'roll O-oh-oh ...
F
Now taking it slow... I’m an arrow in a bow...
G
You’d think that I would know... What it is that makes me roll...
[Chorus]
F
So come on, come on I'm ready now
G
I got the feeling honey like I'm ready to roll... [ohhh]
F
You see I’m not gonna wait till the end of me
G
Cause I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul [ahhhh ohhh]
