* For the intro, we propose a simple chords sequence. Search the UG tabs if you want the exact intro 
(and the solo).
* Dsus2 chords at the end of lines can be played swiftly Dsus2 A/D s Dsus2, where “s” means a slide

There’s danger

 on the edge o

Ride the kings highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby
Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake, he’s old, 
And his skin is cold


The West is th

Get here, and we’ll do the rest

He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and then, then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door, and he looked inside
“Father”, “yes son”, “I want to kill you”
“Mother, I want to...” Aaaahhhh !
Come on, baby
