Ventura - Lucinda Williams

Ventura chords

Capo 3

Intro:  F

Verse I:
F                            C
I think I'm gonna make myself a little something to eat
F                                     G
Get a can down off the shelf, maybe a little something sweet
F                       C
Haven't spoke to no one, haven't been in the mood
Am                                   G
Pour some soup, get a spoon, stir it up real good.
F                                   C
Go out with a friend, they know the music might help
F                                  G
But I can't pretend;  I wish I was somewhere else.

Chorus:
                  F                           C
I wanna watch the ocean bend the edges of the sun, then
            Am                          G       
I wanna get swallowed up in an ocean of love.

Verse II:

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



F                  C
Put on my coat, go out into the street
F                                 G
Get a lump in my throat, and look down at my feet
F                                C
Take the long way home, so I can ride around
Am                         G
Put Neil Young on and turn up the sound.
F                      C
Drive up the coastline, maybe to Ventura
F                          G
Watch the waves make signs out on the water.

re:(Chorus)

Break:  F  C  Am  G

Verse III:
F                    C
Stand in the shower, clean this dirty mess
F                          G
Give me back my power, and drown this unholyness
F                              C
Lean over the toilet bowl, and throw up my confession
Am                      G
Cleanse my soul of this hidden obsession.

re: (Chorus) 2X

End with F C Am G G
