An American Tail 

Nashville Stars, Vol. 21

        Linda Marie Ronstadt (born July 15, 1946 in Tucson, Arizona) is an American singer most closely associated with the country rock genre prevalent in the 1970s. Though an occasional songwriter herself, she is better known as an interpreter of other songwriters' works.  Her career began in 1967 with the release of folk-rock group The Stone Poneys' self-titled album. After the break-up of the Stone Poneys, Linda entered the country music field. In 1969, with the release of 'Hand Sown... Home Grown', Ronstadt became the first female singer to release an alt-country album.

Ab               Bbm          Ab  Cm Eb   C#
One morning as I rambled down by the seashore
    C#           Ab             Bbm Cm  Bbm  Ab
The wind it did whistle and the waters did roar
  Ab           Bbm         Ab Cm Eb C#
I heard a fair lady give a pitiful cry
       C#          Ab          Bbm   Cm  Eb C# 
and it sounded so lonely as it swept off on high


  Ab         Bbm         Ab  Cm Eb   C#
I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife
    C#           Ab              Bbm  Cm Bbm  Ab
I intend to stay single, For the rest of my life
 
    Ab            Bbm        Ab  Cm Eb   C#
The shells in the ocean float by my deathbed
        C#           Ab         Bbm Cm Bbm Ab
and the rushing deep waters well over my head

     Ab        Bbm      Ab
They say that love is a gentle thing, 
          C#   Eb         Ab
But it's only brought me pain
        C#   Eb    Cm    Ab         Eb          Cm      Ab
For the only man I ever loved, Has gone on the morning train


    Ab            Bbm         Ab Cm  Eb   C#
She cast her fair body in the waters so deep
         C#                Ab        Bbm Cm Bbm  Ab

and She closed her pretty blue eyes forever to sleep


  Ab         Bbm         Ab  Cm Eb   C#
I never will marry, I'll be no man's wife
    C#           Ab              Bbm  Cm Bbm  Ab
I intend to stay single, For the rest of my life
 
    Ab            Bbm        Ab  Cm Eb   C#
The shells in the ocean float by my deathbed
        C#           Ab         Bbm Cm Bbm Ab
and the rushing deep waters well over my head

  Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou

C                 C            G                 G
  Saving nickels, saving dimes; working till the sun don't shine

  Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
     C                        G                C            C
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be

Gonna see my baby again
Gonna be with some of my friends
Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou
Saving nickels, saving dimes
Working till the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

I'm going back someday, come what may to Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be

They say that love's a gentle thing
         D#    F          A#
But it's only brought me pain
        D#    F   Gm
For the only man I ever loved
    Cm          F       A#
Has gone on the morning train

I never will marry

I'll be no man's wife

Love will abide, take things in stride
D      C#7        F#m                 B7            E
 Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
D    E          F#m     D    E         F#m
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen

 That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means.


       D         A                    C#7               F#m   D

And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time

Caught in my fears Blinking back the tears
D               C#7   F#m           B7        E
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near

   D E      F#m    D   E             F#m
And I never drew one response from you

D                 C#7            F#m         B7   E
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew

D                C#7     F#m        B7                E
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
     D      E       F#m   D   E         F#m
And life's full of flaws Who knows the cause?
D             C#7          F#m        B7    E
Living in the memory of a love that never was

       D         A                    C#7               F#m   D

Long Long Time

Somewhere Out There



D                         
Last time I talked to you
G
you were lonely and out of place
Em
You were looking down on me
G
lost out in space

Laid underneath the stars
strung out and feeling brave
Watch the riddles glow
watch them float away



Down here in the atmosphere
garbage and city lights
you gotta save your tired soul
you gotta save our lives

Turn on the radio
to find you on sattellite
I'm waiting for the sky to fall
I'm waiting for a sign


Refrain:
Em               G
All we are is all so far


Chorus:
D                      Asus
You're falling back to me
                       G
the star that I can't see
Em
I know you're out there
G
somewhere out there




You're falling out of reach,
defying gravity,
I know you're out there,
somewhere out there.

Hope you remember me
when you're homesick and need a change
I miss your purple hair
I miss the way you taste
I know you'll come back someday
on a bed of nails awake
I'm praying that you don't burn out
or fade away

Refrain:
Em               G
All we are is all so far


Chorus:
D                      Asus
You're falling back to me
                       G
the star that I can't see
Em
I know you're out there
G
somewhere out there

You're falling out of reach
defying gravity
I know you're out there
somewhere out there

Bridge:
You're falling back to me
the star that I can't see
I know you're out there, oh
You're falling out of reach
defying gravity.

E
I know you're out there,
E
somewhere out there.

[Chorus:]

You're falling back to me
the star that I can't see
I know you're out there
somewhere out there

You're falling out of reach
defying gravity
I know you're out there
somewhere out there

You're falling back to me                     
the star that I can't see
I know you're out there
somewhere out there

You're falling out of reach
defying gravity
I know you're out there
somewhere out there

Outro:
D            Asus
You're falling back to me
G Em
Well I know
G
I know
D         Asus G
You're falling out of reach.
Em
I know

Somewhere Out There

C       Em F            G7         C        Em
You and I travel to the beat of a different drum  
F             G7          C     Em
Oh can't you tell by the way I run, 
F          G7        C      Em   F G7
Every time you make eyes at me. Wooh

But honey child I've got my doubts.
F                                G7
You can't see the forest for the trees.

Oh don't get me wrong it's not that I knock it
     C
It's just that I'm not in the market 
F                       G7       C
For a boy who wants to love only me

Yes and I ain't saying you ain't pretty
C        Em       F       G7
All I'm saying is I'm not ready
     D7
For any person place or thing 
   Dm7                          G7
To try and pull the reins in on me

       C Em F           G7        C       Em
So goodbye.    I'll be leaving. I see no sense 
        F         G7
In you crying and grieving
      C                  Em
We'll both live a lot longer

If you live without me

It's So easy to Fall In Love

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A

A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot
