[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
The [D]wind in her rigging
sings a [G]song of other days
[A]Though her masts are sprung
and there's [G]slack in all her [D]stays
I close my eyes an[Bm]d I remember
[G]how it used [Em]to be
When [A]me and my Ramona went to [G]sea[D]
Now she don't look like much
lying [G]here beside the shore
Me [A]and her won't ever see
[G]deep water anymore
[D]We're a couple of old derelicts[G]
[Em]from another time
[G]Me and my [D]Ramon[G]a[D][G][D]
[G]We [D]started hollin' lumber
and we [G]ended hollin' coal
[Em]I was tw[A]enty years her master,
I [G]loved her heart and [D]soul
So many times she [Bm]saved us
from the [G]fury of [Em]the storm
After all [A]these years
my memories [G]are warm
[D]Now she don't look like much
lying [G]here beside the shore
[A]Me and her won't ever [G]see
[D]We're a couple of old [Em]days
[G]from [Em]another time
[G]Me and my [D]Ramon[Em]a[D][G][D]
[G]
[Bm]I re[G]call h[D]ow on our last trip,
when we'd [Em]emptied out [G]the hold,
The [A]owners came down to me,
said Primon[G]a had been sold.
[D]Well, they sold her to a scrapper[Bm],
[G]cause they couldn't make [Em]her pay.
I [A]had to get my gear and go [G]away.
[D]Now she don't look like much,
lying [Em]here beside the shore.
[A]Me and her won't ever see
deep [G]water anymore.
[D]We're a couple of old derelicts
[Em]from another time
[G]He and my Ram[D]ona
[Em][D][Em][D][Bm][G]
[D]
[G]I couldn[D]'t leave her there
After all [G]she'd done for me
So I [A]gathered my life savings
I [G]paid Ramona's [D]fee
Took her up the [G]river
and I beached her in the [Em]sand
And [A]built this little cabin [G]close at hand
[D]Now she don't look like much,
lying [G]near beside the shore
[Em]Me a[A]nd her won't ever see
deep [G]water anymore
[D]We're a couple of old derelicts
[Em]from another time
[G]Me and my Ra[D]mona[Em]
[D][G][D][G][D][G][Bm]
[G]It'[D]s been thirty years now
[G]since we come aground
[A]Still I walk her weather deck
[G]and think I hear the [D]sound
It's a living thought so [Bm]spoon her
as she [G]runs be[Em]fore the wind
Oh [A]Ramona, we're still sailing in my [G]mind
[D]Now we don't look like much
lying [G]here be[Em]side the shore
[G]Win[A]ter won't ever see
[G]deep water anymore
[D]We're a couple of old derelicts
[Em]from another time
[G]Me and my Ra[D]mona[Em]
[D][G][D][G][A][Bm][D]
