Artist: Joey Cape Song: The Ramones are Dead Record: Bridge Tuning: Standard Tabbed By Mike Pihowich A F# I can listen to the records from my younger years D E A E Pacify my bitter ears and revive the dead dinosaurs. A F# Me and Jamo rode two buses round for Rockpile D E A Am Sure to find a rarity and something to believe. D F# D But I can't listen to them now without mourning a small town E A Am and the mom and pops I loved D F# Once were missionary men D E We age into obscurity with them A E The Ramones are dead A F# You could judge a band by the cover flipping through the bins D Assured enough to take a spin E A E The art and lyrics big enough to see and read A Pull the record from its sleeve F# E Spear the cut hole, arm and seed D E A Am Plunge the needle, shaking like a drug fiend D F# Now relevant again somehow D Reanimated sacred cow E A Am But it all seems different now D F# It's far too easy to find anything in demand D E I'll say it once again A The Ramones are dead.
