    A augmentedA               F#F#
I can listen to the records from my younger years
      D MajorD     E MajorE       A augmentedA    E MajorE
Pacify my bitter ears and revive the dead dinosaurs.
    A augmentedA               F#F#
Me and Jamo rode two buses round for Rockpile
         D MajorD     E MajorE       A augmentedA   A minorAm
Sure to find a rarity and something to believe.

D MajorD             F#F#              D MajorD
But I can't listen to them now without mourning a small town
     E MajorE        A augmentedA   A minorAm
and the mom and pops I loved
D MajorD          F#F#
Once were missionary men
D MajorD              E MajorE
We age into obscurity with them
         A augmentedA   E MajorE
The Ramones are dead


      A augmentedA                  F#F#
You could judge a band by the cover flipping through the bins
             D MajorD
Assured enough to take a spin
   E MajorE       A augmentedA       E MajorE
The art and lyrics big enough to see and read
A augmentedA
Pull the record from its sleeve
F#F#          E MajorE
Spear the cut hole, arm and seed
D MajorD          E MajorE       A augmentedA     A minorAm
Plunge the needle, shaking like a drug fiend


D MajorD           F#F#
Now relevant again somehow
          D MajorD
Reanimated sacred cow
    E MajorE          A augmentedA   A minorAm
But it all seems different now
D MajorD              F#F#
It's far too easy to find anything in demand
   D MajorD      E MajorE
I'll say it once again

         A augmentedA
The Ramones are dead.
