John Prine Donald & Lydia chords
Start Jamming...
[N] [C] Small town, bright lights, [G] Saturday [C]
night
Pinballs and pool halls, [D] flashing their [G] lights
Making [C] change behind a counter in a penny arcade
Sat the fat girl, daughter [G] of Virginia and [C] Ray
Lydia, Lydia hid [F] her thoughts like [C] a cat
Behind her small eyes, [D] sunk deep [G] in her fat
She [C] read a romance magazine up in her room
It felt just like Sunday [G] on a Saturday [C] afternoon
[F] But dreaming just [C] comes natural
[G] Like the first breath [C] from a baby
[F] Like sunshine, [C] peen daisy
[G] Like the love hidden deep in [C] your heart
Bunk beds, shaved heads, [F] Saturday [C] night
A warehouse of strangers [D] with sixty [G]-wide lads
[C] Staring through the ceiling, [F] just wanting [C] to be
Lay one of too many, [G] a young [C] PFC
Donald, there were spaces between Donald [F] and whatever [C] he said
Strangers had forced him [D] to live in [G] his head
[C] He envisioned the details [F] of romantic [C] scenes
After midnight in the stillness [G] of the barracks [C] latrine
[F] But dreaming just [C] comes natural
[G] Like the first breath [C] from a baby
Like [F] sunshine, [C] peen daisy
[G] Like the love hidden deep in [C] your heart
Hot love, cold [F] love, no love [C] at all
A portrait of guilt [D] is hung on [G] the wall
[C] Nothing is wrong,
[F] nothing [C] is right
Donald and Lydia
[G] made love [C] that night
Love, they made love in the mountains
They [F] made love in [C] the stream
They made love in the valley
They [D] made love in their [G] dream
[C] But when they was finished, [F] there was nothing [C] to say
Cause mostly they made love [G] ten miles [C] away
But [F] dreaming just [C] comes natural
Like [G] the first breath [F] [C] from a baby
Like [F] sunshine, [C] peen daisy
[G] Like the love hidden deep in your heart
