The Ramones Are Dead

        A#                         
I can listen to the records from my
   Gm
 younger years
           D#         F           
Pacify my bitter ears and revive 
    D#7      F
the dead dinosaurs.
        A#                         
Me and Jamo rode two buses round 
     Gm
for Rockpile
                D#         F      
Sure to find a rarity and 
        A#        A#7
something to believe.



 D#                         
But I can't listen to them now 
Gm                          D#
without mourning a small town
         F               A#        
and the mom and pops I loved
A#7

D#                   Cm
Once were missionary men

D#                          F
We age into obscurity with them
                        A#      (F)
The Ramones are dead

A#                                
You could judge a band by the 
              Gm
cover flipping through the bins
                   D#
Assured enough to take a spin
     F             D#7            
The art and lyrics big enough to see
F
 and read
A#
Pull the record from its sleeve
Gm
Spear the cut hole, arm and seed
D#                  F            
Plunge the needle, shaking like a
   A#           A#7
 drug fiend


D#                      Gm
Now relevant again somehow
                  Cm
Reanimated sacred cow
        F                   A#    
But it all seems different now
   A#7

D#                        Cm
It's far too easy to find anything 
in demand
      G#            F
I'll say it once again

                         A#
The Ramones are dead.
