Raymond

Am                            
  I work down at Ashbury Hills, 
    G
minimum wage but it pays the bills
   C                               
Cleaning floors, and leading hymns 
     G
on Sunday.
 Am                       G
Katherine Davis room 303, the 
sweetest soul you ever could meet.
    Em               D           
I bring her morning coffee every 
C
day.


[Chorus]
               C                   
She calls me Raymond. She thinks 
       G
I'm her son.
          C                      
Tells me get washed up for supper 
             D
'fore your daddy gets home.
         C
She goes on about the weather,
        Em                  D     
How she can't believe it's already 
A
1943.
                C
She calls me Raymond,
                         Am  G
and that's alright by me


[Verse]
                   Am
She talks about clothes on the line 
in the summer air,
Continues after the ad
    G
Christmas morning and Thanksgiving 
prayer
       C                        
And stories of the family that I 
        G
never had.
         Em             D   
Well, sometimes I find myself 
                   C
wishing I'd been there


[Chorus]
                    C         
When she calls me Raymond. She 
                 G
thinks I'm her son.
          C                      
Tells me get washed up for supper 
             D
'fore your daddy gets home.
         C
She goes on about the weather,
        Em                  D     
How she can't believe it's already 
A
1943.
                C
She calls me Raymond,
                       G
and that's alright by me


[Bridge]
          Am
There's a small white cross in 
Arlington,
         G
Reads Raymond Davis '71.
  F
Until she can see his face again
      C
I'm gonna fill in the best I can...


[Chorus]
                     C        
When she calls me Raymond. She 
                  G
thinks I'm her son.
          C                      
Tells me get washed up for supper 
             D
'fore your daddy gets home.
         C
She goes on about the weather,
        Em                  D     
How she can't believe it's already 
A
1943.
                C
She calls me Raymond,
       F              G
and that's alright by me
