Frankie Cosmos – Ballad Of R And J chords

[Verse]
D         A           F#mI’ll give it back if you want it
D         A           F#m    DAll that time you wasted on it
D           F#         GI dreamed of you in the car
D           F#         GI wanna know how you are

D         A           F#mFrom August to October
D         A           F#m    DIt felt like it was over
D           F#         GDon’t wear yourself out me
D           F#         GDon’t lie down about me


[Chorus]
(riff)
Ricky felt alone now
(riff)
So he went to the store
(riff)
Gathered up some flowers
(riff)
To mail to Julie’s door


[Verse]
D         A           F#mThe field so watery and wide
D         A           F#m    DPasses me on either side
D           F#         GDidn’t talk to you today
D           F#         GDoesn’t matter either way

D         A           F#mYou know I like 'em cut
D         A           F#m    DWith a certain I-don’t-know-what
D           F#         GDipped into the reserve
D           F#         GBathed in the dirt I deserve


[Chorus]
(riff)
Julie had his flowers
(riff)
Taped up on the wall
(riff)
"It's better to love Ricky
(riff)
From afar than not at all"

[Outro]
D A G(riff chorus)
