CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:] F   G   D   F   G   D   F   G   Bb   F   G  D  
[VERSE 1:]
These are just the simple facts I Asus4will relate to you
Though G/Athey are not connected, each and Asus4every one is true
If they Dseem a bit untidy, well unAsus4ravelling them is fun
I G/Awill not stand corrected, I have Asus4not harmed anyone
[CHORUS:]
FI just Glet it Dride
FRide, Glet it Dride
Leave on the Fevening Gtide
FJust Glet it Dride
[VERSE 2:]
When I listen to my heart, I Fsometimes fail to Gfind
One Dsane and simple Fanswer on the Gbright side of my Asus4mind
FEven Gwhen I'm Dsleeping, I Fcan't seem Gto unDwind
FI just Glet it DrideAsus4  
[VERSE 3:]
I knew a man from Windsor who went to Asus4Detroit every night
And G/AStateside of the tunnel, customs Asus4agents gave him flight
He Dthrew his stash in the river and his Asus4bedroll on the ground
And G/Awhen they finally got there, a sleeping Asus4man was all that they found
[CHORUS:]
FHe just Glet it Dride
FRide, Glet it Dride
Leave on the Fevening Gtide
FJust Glet it Dride
[VERSE 4:]
Hear the steeple bells ring out aFbove my lobster Gpots
DI might be out here Ffishing, man, but Gthat ain't where it Asus4stops
The Fmouths I Gfeed are Dmany and they Fall say, "GThanks a Dlot"
FThey just Glet it DrideAsus4  
[VERSE 5:]
One day when I'm old and grey and conAsus4sider what's gone by
I G/Aalways will be proud of every Asus4tear I've ever cried
And Dall of the old jokes we told aAsus4round the candle light
To G/Aall those tender damsels who had Asus4helped us in the night
[CHORUS:]
FThey just Glet it Dride
FRide, Glet it Dride
Leave on the Fevening Gtide
FJust Glet it DrideF  G  D  
FI'm gonna Glet it Dride F  G  Bb  F  G  D  
[VERSE 6:]
Here's to the girls from London and the Asus4ones from Montreal
We G/Anever will forget them, we still Asus4fantasize them all
I Dknew one in St. Louis on a Asus4Missouri afternoon
I G/Amet one up in Shanghai and aAsus4nother in Rangoon
[CHORUS:]
FI just Glet it Dride
FRide, Glet it Dride
Leave on the Fevening Gtide
FJust Glet it Dride
[CHORUS:]
FRide, Gride, Dride
I'm Fgonna Glet it Dride
Leave on the Fevening Gtide
FJust Glet it Dride
