Jesse Welles – To Ramona (Guitar)

  C                                          G7
Ramona, come closer, shut softly your watery eyes

                                                        C
The pangs of your sadness will pass as your senses will rise

        F
For the flowers of the city, though breath-like

                   G7
Get death-like sometimes

G7
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

                                 G7
As to be by the strength of your skin

                                                  C
Your magnetic movements still capture the minutes I'm in

       F
But it grieves my heart, love, to see you trying to be a part of

                         G7
A world that just don't exist

G7
Yeah, it's all just a dream, babe, a vacuum, a scheme, babe

                                 C
That sucks you into feelin' like this

                                 G7
With the worthless foam from the mouth

G7
I can tell you are torn between staying and returning

            C
Back to the South

            F                                                 G7
You've been fooled into thinking that the finishing end is at hand

G7
Yet there's no one to beat you, no one to defeat you

                                       C
'cept the thoughts of yourself feeling bad

C
I've heard you say many times that you're better than no one

                          G7
And no one is better than you

G7
If you really believe that you know you have nothing to win

               C
And nothing to lose

     F                                                G7
From fixtures and forces and friends your sorrow does stem

G7
That hype you and type you, making you feel

                            C
That you gotta be just like them

C
I'd forever talk to you but soon my words

                              G7
Would turn into a meaningless ring

                                                        C
Yeah, for deep in my heart I know there's no help I can bring

    F
Oh, everything passes, everything changes

                                  G7
Just do what you think you should do

G7
And someday maybe, who knows, baby

                           C
I'll come and be crying to you
