Ribbons of love
A Bmplease keep me true sane
Em Bmuntil I reach home on the morrow
never never to wander again
Em BmI'm weak and I'm weary of sorrow
D
London to Dublin
A BmAustralia to Perth
I gazed at your sky
G BmI tasted your earth
Gsung out my heart
for what it was worth
Em Bmnever 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.
Ribbons of love please keep me true sane
F C Amuntil I reach home on the morrow
Am G Amnever never to wander again
I'm weak and I'm weary of sorrow
London to Dublin, Australia to Perth
F C AmI gazed at your sky, I tasted your earth

The rest is as Robert wrote:
