Ribbons of love
please keep me true sane
until I reach home on the morrow
never never to wander again
I m weak and I m weary of sorrow
London to Dublin
Australia to Perth
I gazed at your sky
I tasted your earth
sung out my heart
for what it was worth
never again shall I ramble
..progression is the same for the rest of the song (verse-chorus-verse-chorus..)
There s nowhere left
in this world where to go
my arms, my legs they re a-tremblin
thoughts both clouded and blue as the sky
not even worth the rememberin
Now as I stumble
and reel to my bed
all that I ve done
all that I ve said
means nothin to me
I d soon as be dead
all of this world be forgotten
No words of comfort
no words of advice
nothin to offer a stranger
gone the love, gone the spite
it just doesn t matter no longer
My sky s getting far
the ground s gettin close
my self goin crazy
the way that it does
I ll lie on my pillow
and sleep if I must
Too late to wish I d been stronger
too late to wish I d been stronger

I ve been playing this song real regular since Jan. 1. I do it a bit
different from what Robert has posted, so here goes:
capo 2nd fret, chords shown are as if no capo was used. ie: Am = Bm, C = D,
etc.
A Song For
Townes Van Zandt

Remember, there s more than one way to play a song. The right way is what
works for you. ;-)
Townes wrote a lot of songs. I think he wrote this one for himself.
Thanks Townes...
