Chords for Donovan -[2]- The Ballad Of Geraldine

_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Oh, I was born [Bbm] with a name [B] Geraldine With _ _ hair cold black as a raven _
_ I traveled my life [Gb] without [B] a care _ _ But all my love I was saving _
_ _ Oh, the winds blew high [Bbm] and the [B] trees did sway
_ _ Not much from life was I asking Till _ I met someone [Gb] to [B] give all my love
_ _ All my love so long and lasting Oh, _ good were the parts [Bbm] we [B] played in our game
_ _ And a long ways off was tomorrow But _ my love was a [Gb] rambler and a [B] restless as the sea
_ _ _ And in the tide came sorrow Oh, _ a child of the night [Ebm] is [B] gone to be born
_ _ I can't explain my confusion Is my love thinking [Gb] to [B] marry me at all?
_ Or of the freedom he thinks he'll be losing? _
_ _ I sit with my [Ebm] friends in the [B] gay crowded room
_ _ My friends they're smoking and talking _ But it all seems so [Gb] empty, my [B] love is not there
So _ I'll go into the streets walking My _ baby is a growing [Gb] as a [B] growing it must
_ _ If I were to lose it, it would grieve me _ My love is so helpless [Ebm] and I'm wondering [B] what to do
_ _ Oh, how I yearn to help him _ _ Oh, we could go to [Gb] the land of [B] your choice _
_ Where the false shame won't come knocking at our door _
_ I've a feeling in my heart and it's crushing all my hope I _ think I'm gonna be hurt some more _
_ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Oh, I was born [Bbm] with a name [B] Geraldine With _ hair cold black as a raven
I _ traveled my [Gb] life without a care _ But all my love [B] I was saving
