Donald And Lydia

John Prine

Continues after the ad
Key:
C F C Small town bright lights Saturday night,
D7 G7 Pin balls and pool halls flashing their lights
C F C Making change behind a counter in a penny arcade,
G7 Sat the fat girl daughter of
C Virginia and Ray (spoken) Lydia
F C Lydia hid her thoughts like a cat,
D7 G7 behind her small eyes sunk deep in her fat
C F C She read romance magazines up in her room
G7 And felt just like Sunday on
C Saturday afternoon (Chorus)
G7 F C G7 But dreaming just comes natural
C like the first breath from a baby
Continues after the ad
C7 F C G7 Like sunshine feeding daisies,
C Like the love hidden deep in your heart
C F C Bunkbeds shaved heads Saturday night
D7 G7 A ware house of strangers with sixty watt lights
C F Staring though the ceiling just
C G7 C wanting to be, lay a one of to many a young PFC (spoken) Donald
C F C There were spaces between Donald and what ever he said
D7 G7 Strangers had forced him to live in his head
C F C He envisioned the details of romantic scenes after midnight in the stillness of
G7 C the barrack's latrine (repeat chorus) Hot love, cold love, no love at all,
C a portrait of guilt is hung on the
F C D7 G7 wall
C F C Nothing is wrong, nothing is
G7 C right, Donald and Lydia made love that night (spoken) Love
G7 C F They made love in the mountains ,
C they made love in the streams
D7 They made love in the valleys ,
G7 they made love in their dreams
C F But when they were fininshed , there was nothing to say
C G7 C 'Cause mostly they made love from
C7 ten miles away (repeat chorus)
