Baritone ukulele cover of Ryd / Dark Red by Steve Lacy from Steve Lacy’s Demo
Chords and Lyrics
*In Ryd, I just added a moving line, which isn't necessary, but it technically adds some chords. For example, I added the following chords [in brackets]:
D9 Am7
Speedin' down the backstreet
[Am] Dm7 [D7sus4] Am7
I'm tryna get you in my backseat
G#m7 Gm7 Gm9 [Gm7]
Girl I want you to ride with me
Em7 A7#5
Baby ride on me...
