[ Предположительная тональность: G ] ----------------------------------------------------- Submitted by Robert Giacobbe ----------------------------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------------------------- Submitted by John Kearney ----------------------------------------------------- I've been playing this song real regular since Jan. 1.
