Chords for Townes Van Zandt - 06 A Song For (Solo Sessions)

_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ Ribbons of love, [Bb] please keep me true, [Bbm] Saint, _
_ _ _ [Eb] Until I [Ebm] reach home on the [Bb] morrow.
_ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ Never, never [Eb] to wander [Ab] again,
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] I'm weak and [Gb] I'm weary of sorrow.
[Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ London to Dublin, to [Ab] Australia to Perth,
[Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ I [Ebm] gazed at your skies [Gb] and I've tasted your earth.
[Bbm] _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ [Gb] _ Sung out my heart for [Db] what [Ab] it was [Bbm] worth, _ _
_ _ _ Never again will I ramble.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ There's nowhere left in this [Ab] world for to go, _ _ _
_ _ My arms, my legs, they're [Bbm] trembling. _ _ _ _ _
Thoughts both _ [Ab] clouded and blue [Bb] as the [Bbm] sky,
_ Not _ [Ebm] even _ worth [Gb] _ [Bbm] remembering. _
_ _ _ [Db] _ And as I stumble [Ab] and reel to my [Bbm] bed, _
_ _ _ [F] _ [Ebm] All that I've done _ [Gb] and all that _ [Db] I've said,
[Bbm] _ _ [Ab] _ [Gb] _ Means nothing to me, [Db] I soon [Ab] as be [Bbm] dead. _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ All of this world be forgotten,
[Bbm] No [F] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ words of comfort, [F] no [Ab] words of advice,
[Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ Nothing [Gb] to offer a [Bbm] stranger. _ _ _ _
Gone the love [Ab] and gone the spite,
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Gb] Just doesn't matter no [Bbm] longer. _
[F] _ _ [Db] _ _ My sky's getting far and [Ab] the ground's getting close,
[Bbm] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ Myself going crazy the way that it does.
[Bbm] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] I'll lie on [Gb] my pillow [Ab] and sleep if [Bbm] I must,
_ _ _ [Fm]
It's [Ab] too late to wish I'd been [Bbm] stronger.
_ _ [Fm] _ It's too late to wish I'd been stronger.
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
