Ventura chords by Lucinda Williams

Tuning: Standard
Key: D

Intro: G

G
Decide I'm gonna make myself
D
A little something to eat
Em
Get can down off the shelf
A
Maybe a little something sweet
G
Haven't spoken to no one
D

Haven't been in the mood
Em
Pour some soup, get a spoon and
A
Stir it up real good
G
I go out with a friend
D
Maybe a little music might help
Em
But I can't pretend
A
I wish I was somewhere else



                   G
I wanna watch the ocean bend
                  D
the edges of the sun then
                Em
I wanna get swallowed up in
             A
An ocean of love



G
Put on my coat
D
Go out into the street
Em
Get a lump in my throat
A
And look down at my feet
G
Take the long way home
D
So I can ride around
Em
Put Neil Young on
A
And turn up the sound
G
Drive up the coastline
D
Maybe Ventura
E
Watch the waves make signs
A
Out on the water


                  G
I wanna watch the ocean bend
                 D
the edges of the sun then
             Em
I wanna get swallowed up in
             A
An ocean of love

G
Stand in the shower
D
Clean this dirty mess
Em
Give me back my power
A
And drown this unholiness
G
Lean over the toilet bowl
D
And throw up my confession
Em
Cleanse my soul
A
Of this hidden obsession


                   G
I wanna watch the ocean bend
                  D
the edges of the sun then
             Em
I wanna get swallowed up in
             A
An ocean of love
                   G
I wanna watch the ocean bend
                  D
the edges of the sun then
             Em
I wanna get swallowed up in
             A
An ocean of love
