Bm

Ribbons of love

       A            Bm

please keep me true sane

Em                        Bm

until I reach home on the morrow

Bm             A       Bm

never never to wander again

    Em                    Bm

I'm weak and I'm weary of sorrow





D

London to Dublin

   A         Bm

Australia to Perth

  Em

I gazed at your sky

  G           Bm

I tasted your earth

G

sung out my heart

    A           Bm

for what it was worth

Em                  Bm

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.

Townes wrote a lot of songs. I think he wrote this one for himself.



Thanks Townes...
