Riding To New York by Passenger
Noticed that I could not find a single tab/chord progression of this insanely
beautiful song anywhere online, and I thought to my self, "this...this I can
not tolerate... ONWARDS!" This is what I got so far, basically just a chord
progression to help you out, and then you can use the video on the link
below to get the finer picking part. I WILL write out the tabs for the intro
and the intersections and add them to the file as soon as I can ;)The lyrics
are also done by ear, so if you think something is wrong (with either lyrics
or chords), leave a comment below, and I'll get it fixed! ;)

Intro: F Am7 G6 F Am7 C G6
F Am7 G F
Am7 C G F
Well, I met him in Minnesota. He was dark and overcast,
Am7 C
with long grey hair and eyes that stared
G
through me like I was glass.
F Am7
I asked, "Where are you going to?"
G F
He said, "I'm the wind, I'm just blowin' through".
Am7 C G
He lit up a cigarette and began to talk:
Am7 C
"See the doctors told me that my body won't hold me,
G F
my lungs are turning black.
Am7 C
Been Lucky Strike's fool since I was at school,
G
now there ain't no turning back.
F Am7 G F
They can't tell me how long I've got, maybe months, but maybe not.
Am7 C G
So I'm taking this bike and riding to New York.
Dm Am7 G
'Cause I wanna see my grand-daughter one last time
Dm Am7
Want to hold her close and feel her tiny
C G
Heartbeat next to mine
Dm Am7
Wanna see my son and the man he's become
C G
Tell him I'm sorry for the things I've done
F Am7 G
And I'd do it if I had to walk
F G Am7
Oh, I'm taking this bike and riding to New York
(intersection) Intro-ish
Am7 C G F
Through the forests of Wisconsin, that I knew as a boy
Am7 C G
Past the skyline of Chicago, 'round the lakes of Illinois
F Am7
I lay my head in a motel bed
G F
When my back get sore and my eyes turn red
Am7 C G
And listen to the trucks roll past my door
Am7 C G Am7
Through the fields of Ohio as the sunshine paints them gold
Am7 C G
I run just like a river runs, rapid, quick and cold
F Am7 G F
Fly through Pennsylvania and the Jersey turn-pike tolls
Am7 C G
I won't stop 'til I get to New York
Dm Am7 G
'Cause I wanna see my grand-son one last time
Dm Am7 C G
Wanna see his eyes sparkling and stare back into mine
Dm Am7
Now my time is short, I wanna see my daughter
C G
Tell her all the things that I should have taught her
F Am7 G
And I'd do it if I had to walk
F G Am7
Oh, I'm taking this bike and I'm riding to New York
(intersection) Intro-ish
Dm Am7 G
And I'd go up to the church yard one last time
Dm Am7
Lay flowers down for the woman who gave me
C G
The best years of my life
F Am7 G
And I'd do it if I had to walk
F Am7 G
Yeah, I'd do it if I had to walk
F G Am7(with pinky on 1st string 5ft fret)
I'm taking this bike and riding to New York
