Joni Mitchell - Last time i saw richard

^GThe last time I saw Richard was Detroit in '68 And he t^Amold me all romantics meet the same fate ^A7someday ^EmCynical and drunk and bo^Amring someone in some dark café ^{G G}You laugh he said you think you're immune Go ^Amlook at your eyes they're fu^A7ll of moon You like ^Emroses and kisses and pr^Ametty men to tell you all th^Gose pretty lies Pretty l^Cies when you gonna realize they're only ^Fpretty lies Only pre^Gtty lies just p^Amretty lie^A7s ^D7

^GHe put a quarter in the Wurlitzer and he ^AmPushed three buttons and the t^A7hing began to whirr And a^Em bar maid came by in fishnet st^Amockings and a bow tie And she said &^Gquot;Drink up now it's getting' on time to close" ^G"Richard, you haven't really changed" I said It's just that ^Amnow you're romanticizing some pain that's in your head ^A7You got tombs in your ey^Emes but the songs^Am you punched are dreamin^Gg Listen, they sing of love so sweet, l^Cove so sweet When you gonna get yourself ^Fback on your feet? Oh and l^Gove can be so sweet Love^Asus so sweet
