Looking at the Moon (Am)

January 15, 2020 by The Ram

Looking at the Moon

= Verse 1-4

One solitary man
looking at the moon
looking at the moon

One beaten down dream
had the guts to stand
stand tall through it all

I saw her run
run into the night
run across the dawn

One single rose was thrown
it fell into my hand
it fell into my hand

= Chorus 1

I will ride
across the midnight sky
I see you look up
with your starlit eyes

= Verse 5-8

One solitary man
looking at the moon
looking at the moon

One look in those eyes
blew my mind
blew my mind

One heart rise above the rest
All the rest will fall
All the rest will fall

One look in those eyes
I decided to stay
I decided to stay

= Chorus 2

I will ride
across the midnight sky
I see you look up
with your starlit eyes

= INSTRUMENTAL

= Chorus 3

I will ride
across the midnight sky
I see you look up
with your starlit eyes

= Verse 9-12

One look in those eyes
blew my mind
blew my mind

One listen to her song
Filled my heart
it didn’t take long

One listen to her song
blew my mind
blew my mind

One solitary man
looking at the moon
looking at the moon

= Chorus 3

I will ride
across the midnight sky
I see you look up
with those beautiful starlit eyes

ALT

Sleep paralyzed dream
I couldn’t even move
I could barely move

Space Cowboy

Space Cowboy

= Verse
Moon so bright, my eyes are weeping
electrified tide charged by brilliant light
Venturing out, through the pounding ocean
psilocybin speaks to my deepest mind
Lord my deepest mind…

= Chorus
the haters say my name
RIDE ON Space Cowboy
done smoked his mind to the southern wind

the stars all align
you know you are my hero
the milky way is a friend of mine
lord a friend of mind…

= Verse
Quiet my soul, and laser focus
Tame the wild seas for your son tonight
amphitheater formed by clouds above me
laugh out loud as I drop into the perfect ride
a perfect ride…

= Chorus
the haters say my name
RIDE ON Space Cowboy
done smoked his mind to the southern wind

the stars all align
you know you are my hero
the milky way is a friend of mine
lord a friend of mind…

= Verse
Waves so high, my body’s peaking
psilocybin ride through electric nights
I’ve made my peace, with the pounding ocean
the milky was says she’s a friend of mine.
lord a friend of mind…

= Chorus
the haters say my name
RIDE ON Space Cowboy
done smoked his mind to the southern wind

the stars all align
you know you are my hero
the milky way is a friend of mine
lord a friend of mind…

= Chorus
I stand with my old guitar
to you i’ll be faithful
just give me little action every now and then

I plucked upon these steel strings
it all comes to a stand still
my love song’s sung to the southern wind

Road Runner

January 15, 2020 by The Ram

= Verses
Well I’m a road running desert dog baby
Haven’t had water for days

The valley hears my motorcycle coming
Echoes through the tall palisades
Raw thunder cross the tall palisades 2X

Looking to find myself my own oasis
Riding all night and through the dawn

If I could only show you everything I’ve seen here
You’d feel at home in the place I’m coming from
The Place I’m coming from

= Chorus
The Place Where I’m a Coming From
The Place Where I’m a Coming From

= Verses
I travel light, Lord the guitar is my calling
a little Harmonica if you’d like some

Serenading my lovely baby from her window
Disappearing in the shadows till the dawn
Making love in the shadows through the dawn 2X

= Chorus
The Place Where I’m a Coming From
The Place Where I’m a Coming From

= Verses
My home is where I rest my head baby
It seems my days of moving will soon be done

You make it easy to stay here right beside you
finding comfort where on earth I swear there was none
Comfort baby where I swear was none 2X

= Chorus
The Place Where I’m a Coming From
The Place Where I’m a Coming From

Fare Thee Well by the Ram registered with ASCAP IPI #375351061

Fare Thee Well (D)

January 15, 2020 by marktodonnell

Intro

Verse———

The moon came out

and the Milky Way disappeared

staring at my shadow

wondering how the hell I got here

could it be that this happenstance

is what brought me to this place tonight

or am i just another fool

blinded by the moonlight

Chorus ———

maybe baby time will tell

my brother fare the well

maybe baby time will tell

Verse———

On the day that our father died

the songbird she start to cry

the songbird could only cry

I lost my place in this here world

he was our symbol of the GOOD life

Let my tears be the seed that heals

the scars left on this here farm

it’s not that you done me wrong

it’s just we’ve all got broken hearts.

Chorus ———

maybe baby time will tell

my brother fare the well

maybe baby time will tell

Verse———

Thirteen years to the day

I can still feel you by my side

I can still see your smiling face like yesterday

all I got to do is close my eyes.

At the first light to the new day

cold water wakes my warm face

I try to swim beyond the horizon line

because I know you’ll be by my side

as I climb up through the rising tide

feels real good to have you by my side.

Chorus ———

maybe baby time will tell

my brother fare the well

maybe baby time will tell

Ten Years Gone (A)

Intro Bass Bow and Guitar, Drum Low Rolls & Cymbals

chorus chords 1X

=Verse

I gotta get back to California,

Im in Nashville, Tennessee

Snows on the Ground due to Global Warming

& my baby’s waiting at home for me.

=Chorus

Let raise a glass to the beauty & the guitar

& the band behind her lord they sure can play

Giving wings to my yearning heart’s imagination

sing along with music, Just what I say!

~~Her words will never be~~ ~~left unspoken~~

~~Fill the air till~~ ~~we can’t hear no more~~

=Verse

The Blues got a hand forged of raw pig iron

Lord a tongue made of red hot fire

Seems to reach out to the sun just to slow it down

Moan & Groan songs from forgotten times

=Chorus

Let’s raise a glass to the heart that’s been broken

shattered pieces on the honkey tonk floor

Words will never ever be left unspoken

Fill the air till we can’t hear no more

=Verse

Lord If I could grapple with the keeper of time

I’ve got a mind to beat that old boy down

Cause I never could stand to see my loved ones die

and be the one to put them in the ground

=Chorus

So let us raise the glass, a few more dead soldiers (to our ancestors above us)

that have passed on to the dust and clay

I love them more than I ever have

Swear to meet with them again some day yeah -ee yeah

=Verse

You’re the same, you’re the same as the last time i saw you

& man its been 10 years gone

Got to rub my eyes just to recognize you

Bring back those sweet memories of home

=Chorus

Let’s raise a glass to the hearts that’s been broken

shattered pieces on the honkey tonk floor

No words between need ever be left unspoken

fill the air with song till we can’t hear no more

REPEAT VERSE 1

=Verse

I gotta get back to California,

Im in Nashville, Tennessee

Snows on the Ground due to Global Warming

& my baby’s waiting at home for me.

=Chorus

Let raise a glass to the beauty & the guitar

& the band behind her lord they sure can play

Giving wings to my yearning heart’s imagination

sing along with music, Just what I say!

~~Her words will never be~~ ~~left unspoken~~

~~Fill the air till~~ ~~we can’t hear no more~~

Motor Kine (Key of G)

dusty roads through the canyon gorge
like a bullet baby how we run
steer me babe with a gentle hand
on into that old boy sun

yeah

I am your Motor Kine,
I know you’ve seen me riding
greased back I shine like lighting
leg up mamma and take a ride

race down the pacific ocean,
run down those Mexico sands
just for nothing babe, just cause I want to
Gonna fly all across these lands

yeah

your desert is of the rarest beauty
I’ve never seen the like
your sands they give me water
your sun keeps me alive

dusty roads through the canyon gorge
like a bullet baby how we run
steer me babe with a gentle hand
on into that old boy sun

yeah

Motor Kine dont take low octane
throw down some money & give me premium fuel
Motor Kine don’t run on that cheap stuff
Ease your hand mamma Keep me cool!

race down the pacific ocean,
run down those Mexico sands
just for nothing babe, just cause I want to
Gonna fly all across these lands

yeah

One more time
race down the pacific…

Don’t Matter Much Now Anyway (B)

F# | B | F# | B

Ain’t no right ain’t no wrong

when you sit and watch a new day dawn

Aint no wrong aint no right

been here since the dark of night

F# | B

F# | B | F# | B

Walked myself to the edge of town,

made damn sure no one came to follow me down

Yes and to keep me company,

I gotta little hipper from the whiskey family

—— Chorus————–

F# | B

G# | A | A# | B

F# | B

But it dont, no it dont, yes it dont, matter much anyway…

all alone, all alone, one and only, help me get my thinking straight

Just cut the cable and the TV screen

just a rabid dog barking back at me.

So many voices chiming through my head

cant put a face to all the words just said.

Get more listening to the wind and rain

or the rumble of a diesel train

cause a mans a man and a facts a fact

but those are lies and we shouldn’t be lied to like that

—-

But it dont, no it dont, yes it dont, matter much anyway…

all alone, all aloe, one and only, help me get my thinking straight

You cant tell a lie through a song

and expect folks to listen all that long.

Guitar note catch a breeze and off they go,

and whos gonna catch em I donnt know.

Way over top a voice gonna hit that note

just like old golden throat.

thats my version of a TV screen,

you see it don’t have to be all obscene.

Ragtop Car

January 13, 2020 by The Ram

Ragtop Car (key of C) SLIDE

Some say that the love of the wanderlust
is just a life that won’t amount to much,
a man born with rambling shoes,
is just another man born to lose
I want to set the record straight,
before I hit the road today.

Got a ragtop car enough gas to take us far
enough away, cause I plan to drive all day
when the evening comes we’ll be like loaded guns
Out in the night shooting stars from the sky, baby

When the blue sky’s lost in a concrete maze,
I get out of the city and get lost for days
lacing up my rambling shoes is a way to beat the 3rd street blues

Gonna kick it road trip style for 1000 miles
you rock the old shotgun till another ice age come
stand up on your feet do a little dance for me
no uturns are planned on this road trip baby

I got myself a roady in my hand
talking a cold pabst Blue ribbon, in my hand
I’m not trying to be tough just priming up the motor of love
gotta loosen up when my baby starts showing that stuff.

Got a ragtop car enough gas to take us far
enough away, cause I plan to drive all day
when the evening comes we’ll be like loaded guns
Out in the night shooting stars from the sky, baby

Terrible Thing to Waste (D)

Love is a Terrible Thing to Waste

= Verse 1-4

Take to the street to play music
got my amplify
open guitar case

All of the hookers and hustlers
gonna make em move
where they congregate

Pro-stit-tutions illegal
but ya’d never know
by the look of this place

Mind you I’ve got no problem
cause I tell you LOVE
is a terrible thing to waste

= Chorus 1

Ask me where Im goin’
Im a going way down to the dirty side of town
Ask me what I’ll be up to
I say Im a gonna spread a little love around

= Verse 5-8

Playing myself some guitar
a big old smile
right across my face

I’ve been out here for 3 hours
I think its time
to smoke a little jay

Inspiration she finds me
on crowded sidewalks
just about any place

When Im with her I hold her so closely

cause I tell you LOVE
is a terrible thing to waste

= Chorus 1

Ask me where Im goin’
Im a going way down to the dirty side of town
Ask me what I’ll be up to
I say Im a gonna spread a little love around
