Lucinda Williams - Ventura guitar chord

Capo 3rd Fret

Intro: F

Verse I:

F C

I think I'm gonna make myself a little something to eat

F G

Get a can down off the shelf, maybe a little something sweet

F C

Haven't spoke to no one, haven't been in the mood

Am G

Pour some soup, get a spoon, stir it up real good.

F C

Go out with a friend, they know the music might help

F G

But I can't pretend; I wish I was somewhere else.

Chorus:

F C

I wanna watch the ocean bend the edges of the sun, then

Am G

I wanna get swallowed up in an ocean of love.

Verse II:

F C

Put on my coat, go out into the street

F G

Get a lump in my throat, and look down at my feet

F C

Take the long way home, so I can ride around

Am G

Put Neil Young on and turn up the sound.

F C

Drive up the coastline, maybe to Ventura

F G

Watch the waves make signs out on the water.

re:(Chorus)

Break: F C Am G

Verse III:

F C

Stand in the shower, clean this dirty mess

F G

Give me back my power, and drown this unholyness

F C

Lean over the toilet bowl, and throw up my confession

Am G

Cleanse my soul of this hidden obsession.

re: (Chorus) 2X

End with F C Am G G
