Chords for Townes Van Zandt - A Song For

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