To Ramona

	  		This is a Bob Dylan song - beautifully sung by Sinead Lohan  

Standard tuning.   I play this with a very simple strumming pattern 

    G                                             
Oh, Ramona come closer, 
                        D 
Shut softly your watery eyes 
    D 
The pangs of your sadness 
                               G 
Will pass as your senses will rise 
    C 
The flowers of the city  
    C 
Though breath-like, 
                  D 
Get deathlike sometimes 
             D 
And there's no use in trying 
    D 
To deal with the dying 
    D                            G 
Though I cannot express that in lines 


     G 
Your cracked country lips,  I still wish to kiss 
                               D 
To be by the strength of your skin 
   D 
Your magnetic movements 
                              G 
Still capture the minutes I'm in 
    C      
But it grieves my heart, love 
           C 
To see you trying to be a part of 
                         D 
A world that just don't exist 
     D 
It's all just a dream, babe 
    D 
A vacuum, a scheme, babe 
   D                              G 
That sucks you into feeling like this 


      G 
I can see that your head has been twisted and fed 
                             D 
By worthless foam from the mouth 
    D 
I can tell you are torn between staying   
                          G 
And returning back to the South 
            C 
You've been fooled into thinking 
         C                
The finishing end 
       D 
Is at hand 
     D 
But there's no one to beat you, 
     D 
No one to defeat you 
                                      G 
Just the thought of yourself feeling bad 


               G 
I've heard you say many times that you're better than no one 
                          D 
And no one is better than you 
  D 
If you really believe that you know you have nothing 
                      G 
To win and nothing to lose 
     C 
From fixtures and forces 
   C 
And friends 
                 D 
Your sorrow does stem 
    D 
They'll hype you and type you 
  D 
Into making you feel  
                                G 
That you've gotta be just like them 


       G 
I'd forever talk to you but soon my words 
                                D 
Would turn into a meaningless ring 
    D 
And deep in my heart I know that 
                        G 
There is no help I can bring 
     C 
But everything passes, 
  C 
Everything changes 
                                  D 
Just do what you think you should do 
    D 
And who knows baby, 
   D 
Someday maybe 
                           G 
I'll come and be crying to you
