A Song For Chords

Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

BmRibbons of love

 please Akeep me true Bmsane

Emuntil I reach home on the Bmmorrow

Bmnever never to Awander aBmgain

 I'm Emweak and I'm weary of Bmsorrow

DLondon to Dublin

 AusAtralia to BmPerth

 I Emgazed at your sky

 I Gtasted your Bmearth

Gsung out my heart

 for Awhat it was Bmworth

Emnever again shall I Bmramble

..progression is the same for the rest of the song (verse-chorus-verse-chorus..)

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'

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

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

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

I've been playing this song real regular since Jan. 1. I do it a bit

different from what Robert has posted, so here goes:

A Song For

Remember, there's more than one way to play a song. The right way is what

works for you. ;-)

Townes wrote a lot of songs. I think he wrote this one for himself.

Thanks Townes...
