Verse 1
(C major) Ridin' Out The Storm Lyrics
The New York City winter comes in cold
grey sheets of steel
The numbness (E minor) in his hands and
feet is all that he can feel
(A minor) Alcohol and (F major) sterno turns
a door (C major) way to a bed
Verse 2
And the (C major) ghost of who he might have
been lives on (G major) inside his (A minor) head
In a canyon (C major) made of brownstone
on a sidewalk icy black
He (E minor) wanders nearly barefoot
with his righteousness in tact
A (A minor) man of many man (F major) sions in a
card (C major) board box replete

Verse 3
He lies sleeping (C major) with an angel while
his heart (G major) pretends to beat (A minor)
The (F major) wind blows down on Lonely Street
like an ice pick through the air
Midst the Sunday (A minor) times and coffee
grinds and wino's in Times Square
Five (F major) flights up on Easy Street you
know (C major) she's safe and warm
Verse 4
(C major) Way down low neath a foot of snow
he's riding (G major) out the storm (A major) (A minor)
I (C major) offered him my winter coat
politely he refused
Like an (E minor) educated man he spoke
with words I seldom use
He said (A minor) I don't need pity (F major) for
these choices (C major) are my own
Verse 5
He (C major) bowed his head just slightly and quietly (G major) moved along
(A minor) (F major) (A minor)
(F major) (C major)
(G major) (A minor) (F major) (G major) (A minor)
(G major) (F major) (C major) (A minor) (C major)
Its not like he's a victim of the
homeless life he stalks
(E minor) Nor helpless to get back across
the fine line that he walks
(A minor) Riding out the storm (F major) means yester
day's (C major) already spent
Verse 6
Tomorrow (C major) don't mean nothing it won't (G major) even make a dent
Outro 1
(A minor) (F major) (A minor)
(F major)
(C major) (G major) (A minor)
(G major) (C major) (A minor)
(G major) (A minor) (C major) (A minor)
(G major) (C major) (A minor)
(G major) (C major) (A minor) (C major) (A minor)
(G major) (C major)
