To Ramona

C G
Ramona come closer, shut softly your watery eyes
The pangs of your sadness
C
Will pass as your senses will rise
F
The flowers of the city
G
Though breathlike, get deathlike at times
And there's no use in trying
To deal with the dying
C
Though I cannot explain that in lines
C
Your cracked country lips
I still wish to kiss
G
As to be by the strength of your skin
Your magnetic movements
C
Still captures the minutes I'm in
F
But it grieves my heart, love
To see you try to be a part of
G
A world that just don't exist
It's all just a dream, babe
A vacuum, a scheme, babe
C
That sucks you into feeling like this
C
I can see that your head has been twisted and fed
G
By worthless foam from the mouth
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/david_gray/to_ramona_crd.html ]
I can tell you are torn between staying on
C
And returning back to the South
F
You've been fooled into thinking
G
The finishing end is at hand
There's no one to beat you. No one to defeat you
C
Just the thoughts of yourself feeling bad
C
I've heard you say many times
You're better than no one
G
And no one is better than you
If you really believe that
Then you know you’ve got
C
Nothing to win and nothing to lose
F
From fixtures and forces and friends
G
Your sorrow does stem
That hype you and type you
Making you feel
C
That you gotta be just like them
Oh ya…
C G C F G C
C
I'd forever talk to you but soon my words
G
They would turn into a meaningless ring
For deep in my heart
C
I know there is no help I can bring
F
Everything passes, everything changes
G
Just do what you think you should do
And who knows baby, someday maybe
C
I'll come and be crying to you
