[Verse 1]
            C                      D
In nineteen-fourteen this ball was at war
             G       C          G  C
It went from Belgium on through Ireland
    G      C         D
The Congo, then back home
              C                       D
This big blue ball of war spun on its own
         G    C     G        C
Spinning history in lines of blood
    G     C         D
Yet not a soul fell off

[Chorus]
                G
And we all ride on (we all ride)
     Bm
This big blue ball of war
           C                   G
Souls with tickets through the veil
            D
We all ride on
            G
We all ride on (we all ride)
     Bm
This big blue ball of war
             C               G
We choose to spin around and ride
              D       G
This big blue ball of war

[Verse 2]
         C                      D
Almost a century, the blood has flowed
                 G      C      G          C
We've killed our men of peace around this ball
      G        C          D
And refused to hear their ghosts
             C                     D
We spend our destinies in deeds of hate
  G   C   G        C
Humanity upon this ball
   G             C         D
Is just a bloody fall from grace

[Chorus]
                G
And we all ride on (we all ride)
     Bm
This big blue ball of war
           C                   G
Souls with tickets through the veil
            D
We all ride on
            G
We all ride on (we all ride)
     Bm
This big blue ball of war
             C               G
We choose to spin around and ride
              D       G
This big blue ball of war

[Verse 3]
       C                         D
A reformation just might save us all
           G    C      G    C
A voice of harmony and open heart
          G     C         D
Where the women teach the song
             C                       D
These men of evil deed can be proven wrong
               G       C       G       C
The ball could spin if we join hand to hand
   G     C          D
So not a soul falls off

[Chorus]
                G
And we all ride on (we all ride)
     Bm
This big blue ball of war
           C                   G
Souls with tickets through the veil
               D
We’ll all ride on
               G
We’ll all ride on (we all ride)
     Bm
This big blue ball of war
             C               G
We choose to spin around and ride
              D       G
This big blue ball of war

[Outro]
             C               G
We choose to spin around and ride

This big blue ball of war
