The Last Time I Saw Richard

[Intro] G C G Last time I saw Richard Am Was Detroit in 68 and he told me "All romantics meet the same fate someday: Cynical and bitter and boring someone G In some dark cafe" You laughed, he said: "You think you're immune? Am Go look at your eyes, they're full of moon! You like roses and kisses G And pretty men to tell you all those pretty lies" C Pretty lies F "When are you gonna realize they're only pretty lies?" G Am (D A B C B A G) Only pretty lies, pretty lies G He put a quarter in the Wurlitzer Am And then he pushed three buttons and the thing began to whirl And a waitress came by a fishnet stockings and a bow tie G And she said: "drink up now, it's getting on time to close" "Richard, you haven't really changed", I said Am "It's just that now you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head You've got tombs in your in your eyes G But the songs you punched are dreaming" C Listen, they talk of love so sweet F When you gonna get yourself back on your feet? G Oh and love can be so sweet Am (D A B C B A G) Love's so sweet G Richard got married to a figure skater Am And he bought her a dish washer and a coffe percolator And he drinks at home now, most nights with the TV on G And all the house lights left up bright I'm gonna blow this damn candle out Am I don't want nobody comin' over to my table, I've got nothing to talk to anybody about All good dreamer pass this away someday G Hidin' behind bottles in dark cafes C/G Dark cafes Only this darkness F Before I get my gorgeous wings G And fly away Am (D A B C B A G) Only a phase, these dark cafe days ----------------- Acordes ----------------- A = X 0 2 2 2 0 Am = X 0 2 2 1 0 B = X 2 4 4 4 2 C = X 3 2 0 1 0 C/G = 3 3 2 X 1 X D = X X 0 2 3 2 F = 1 3 3 2 1 1 G = 3 2 0 0 0 3
