I absolutely love this one.
First time I heard it.
This is called To Ramona.
Ramona, come closer,
should softly your watery [A] eyes
The pangs of your [A] sadness will pass
as your senses [D] will rise
And [G] the flowers of the city,
though breath-like,
get death-like [A] a time
And there's no use in trying
to deal with the dying
Though I cannot explain [D] that in lines
Your cracked country lips
I still wish to kiss
Has to be by the strength [A] of your skin
Your magnetic movement
still captures the minutes [D] I'm in
[G] But it grieves my heart, love
So you're trying to be a part of
a world that just [A] don't exist
It's all just a dream, babe
A vacuum, a scheme, babe
That sucks you into feeling [D] like this
I can see that your head
has been twisted and fed
By worthless foam from [A] the mouth
I can tell you are torn
between staying out
and returning back [D] to the South
[G] You've been fooled into thinking
the finishing end is [A] at hand
And there's no one to meet you
No one to defeat you
Just the thoughts of yourself [D] feeling bad
I've heard you say many times
You're better than no one
And no one is better [A] than you
If you really believe that
Then you know you've got nothing to win
And nothing [D] to lose
[G] From fixtures and forces and friends
Your sorrow
[A] distills
They'd hate you and type you
Making you feel
That you've got to be just [D] like them
Oh yeah,
[A]
[D]
[G]
[A] [A]
[D]
I'd forever talk to you
But soon my words
would turn into a meaningless [A] ring
Far deep in my heart I know
There's [Em] no help I [D] can bring
[G] Everything passes Everything changes
Do what you think you [A] should do
And who knows baby Someday maybe
I'll come and be crying [D] to you
[N]
