A Song For
Townes Van Zandt
b>Verse:/b>
Am G Am
ribbons of love please keep me true sane
F C Am
until I reach home on the morrow
Am G Am
never never to wander again
F C Am
i'm weak and I'm weary of sorrow
b>Chorus:/b>
C G Am
london to dublin, australia to perth
F C Am
i gazed at your sky, I tasted your earth
F C Am
sung out my heart for what it was worth
G Am
never again shall I ramble
b>Verse:/b>
there's nowhere left in this world where to go
my arms, my legs they're a-tremblin'
thoughts both clouded and blue as the sky
not even worth the rememberin'
b>Chorus:/b>
now as I stumble
and reel to my bed
all that I've done
all that I've said
means nothin' to me
i'd soon as be dead
all of this world be forgotten
b>Verse:/b>
no words of comfort no words of advice
nothin' to offer a stranger
gone the love, gone the spite
it just doesn't matter no longer
b>Chorus:/b>
my sky's getting far
the ground's gettin' close
my self goin' crazy
the way that it does
i'll lie on my pillow
and sleep if I must
too late to wish I'd been stronger
too late to wish I'd been stronger
