(Bridge, 2008)


(Note: For easier play, use capo in 1st fret!)

        A# (x1333x@1)                          GmI (355333@1)can listen to the records from my younger years
           D# (x43121@3)       F (133211@1)             D#7 (x32310@4)    F (133211@1)
Pacify my bitter ears and revive the dead dinosaurs.
        A# (x1333x@1)                            GmMe (355333@1)and Jamo rode two buses round for Rockpile
                D# (x43121@3)       F (133211@1)            A# (x1333x@1)      A#7Sure (x13131@1)to find a rarity and something to believe.


                                                           
 D# (x43121@3)                       Gm (355333@1)                        D#But (x43121@3)I can't listen to them now without mourning a small town
         F (133211@1)             A# (x1333x@1)      A#7and (x13131@1)the mom and pops I loved
D# (x43121@3)                 CmOnce (x3101x@1)were missionary men
D# (x43121@3)                        FWe (133211@1)age into obscurity with them
                        A# (x1333x@1)    (F)
The Ramones are dead

A# (x1333x@1)                                            GmYou (355333@1)could judge a band by the cover flipping through the bins
                   D#Assured (x43121@3)enough to take a spin
     F (133211@1)           D#7 (x32310@4)          FThe (133211@1)art and lyrics big enough to see and read
A#Pull (x1333x@1)the record from its sleeve
GmSpear (355333@1)the cut hole, arm and seed
D# (x43121@3)                F (133211@1)             A# (x1333x@1)         A#7Plunge (x13131@1)the needle, shaking like a drug fiend


D# (x43121@3)                    GmNow (355333@1)relevant again somehow
                  CmReanimated (x3101x@1)sacred cow
        F (133211@1)                 A# (x1333x@1)     A#7But (x13131@1)it all seems different now
D# (x43121@3)                      CmIt's (x3101x@1)far too easy to find anything in demand
      G# (xx1114@1)          FI'll (133211@1)say it once again

                         A#The (x1333x@1)Ramones are dead.
