To Ramona

This is a Bob Dylan song - beautifully sung by Sinead Lohan Standard tuning. I play this with a very simple strumming pattern Oh, Ramona come closer, Shut softly your watery eyes The pangs of your sadness Will pass as your senses will rise The flowers of the city Though breath-like, Get deathlike sometimes And there's no use in trying To deal with the dying Though I cannot express that in lines Your cracked country lips, I still wish to kiss To be by the strength of your skin Your magnetic movements Still capture the minutes I'm in But it grieves my heart, love To see you trying to be a part of A world that just don't exist It's all just a dream, babe A vacuum, a scheme, babe That sucks you into feeling like this I can see that your head has been twisted and fed By worthless foam from the mouth I can tell you are torn between staying And returning back to the South You've been fooled into thinking The finishing end Is at hand But there's no one to beat you, No one to defeat you Just the thought of yourself feeling bad I've heard you say many times that you're better than no one And no one is better than you If you really believe that you know you have nothing To win and nothing to lose From fixtures and forces And friends Your sorrow does stem They'll hype you and type you Into making you feel That you've gotta be just like them I'd forever talk to you but soon my words Would turn into a meaningless ring And deep in my heart I know that There is no help I can bring But everything passes, Everything changes Just do what you think you should do And who knows baby, Someday maybe I'll come and be crying to you
