VERSE 1:
             A                           E
        On a desert Christmas morning, 1981
                  B
        One month shy of six years old
               F#m
        In the valley of the sun
        A                                E
        My first two-wheel bicycle stood by the tree
                 F#m
        My heart thumping in my chest
                   A                 B
        Though I'd tried, I couldn’t ride one yet

INSTRUMENTAL:

VERSE CONTINUED:
            A                                E
        Out on our street when my dad let go of the seat
               F#m
        I rode off and down the road
                  A               B
        Somehow I never went back home

CHORUS 1:
                E
        But I remember what it was like
         A
        Astride my yellow bike
                E
        First freedom, second life
                A
        All the places I could ride
                G#m
        Leaving early packing light
             C#m    B    A      A/G#
        That little ache inside
           F#m         A
        My kingdom for someone to ride with

VERSE 2:
              A                            E
        Now a highwayman who traded in his handlebars
              B
        Going back and forth
           F#m
        In vans and rental cars
               A                          E
        On the 10, the 5, the 90, and the 95
                     F#m
        In love with every stretch of road
                   A                B
        But when I drive them on my own

CHORUS 2:
             G#m
        They remind me what it was like
         C#m         B      A    A/G#
        Astride that yellow bike
           F#m         A
        My kingdom for someone

BRIDGE:
        A
        Some folks are loners
                G#m
        And you learn from them
                  F#m
        If you've always been a joiner
               E
        On the move again
               A
        But if you keep your legs pumping
                G#m
        Despite everything
                      F#m
        Well, you can take that sting
                A              B
        You can make it swing

CHORUS 3:
               E
        Just remember what it was like
         A
        Astride that yellow bike
              E
        First freedom, second life
                A
        All the places I could ride
                G#m
        Leaving early packing light
             C#m    B    A      A/G#
        That little ache inside
           F#m             A
        My kingdom for someone to ride with
                     F#              Am          E
        I'd trade my kingdom for someone to ride with
