Joey Cape – The Ramones are dead (Bridge, 2008) (Note: For easier play, use capo in 1st fret!) Bb Gm I can listen to the records from my younger years Eb F Eb7 F Pacify my bitter ears and revive the dead dinosaurs. Bb Gm Me and Jamo rode two buses round for Rockpile Eb F Bb Bb7 Sure to find a rarity and something to believe. Eb Gm Eb But I can't listen to them now without mourning a small town F Bb Bb7 and the mom and pops I loved Eb Cm Once were missionary men Eb F We age into obscurity with them Bb (F) The Ramones are dead Bb Gm You could judge a band by the cover flipping through the bins Eb Assured enough to take a spin F Eb7 F The art and lyrics big enough to see and read Bb Pull the record from its sleeve Gm Spear the cut hole, arm and seed Eb F Bb Bb7 Plunge the needle, shaking like a drug fiend Eb Gm Now relevant again somehow Cm Reanimated sacred cow F Bb Bb7 But it all seems different now Eb Cm It's far too easy to find anything in demand Ab F I'll say it once again Bb The Ramones are dead.
