Ballad Of Geraldine
Donovan
Key : B
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
A# | D#maj7 | A# | D#maj7 | A# | D#maj7 
A# | D#maj7 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
A#         D#maj7        F/A          A# D#maj7
 Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine
A# D#maj7  A#       D#maj7          A#  D#maj7
     With hair coal   black as a raven.
A# D#maj7 A#               D#maj7 F/A       A# D#maj7
     I travelled my life   without a care,
A# D#maj7     A#     F/A         A#   D#maj7
     Ah, but all my love I was savin'.

[Verse 2]
---------------------
A#       A#             D#maj7     F/A           A# D#maj7
 Oh, the winds blew high   and the trees did sway,
A# D#maj7 A#        D#maj7       A#   D#maj7
     Not much from life was I askin'.
A# D#maj7  A#           D#maj7 F/A             A# D#maj7
     Till I met someone   to give all my love,
A# D#maj7    A#       F/A        A#   D#maj7
     All my love, so long an' lasting.

[Verse 3]
---------------------
A#   A#                 D#maj7 F/A              A# D#maj7
 Oh, good were the parts   we played in our game
A# D#maj7       A#    D#maj7       A#  D#maj7
     And a long ways off was tomorrow.
A# D#maj7        A#         D#maj7  F/A                A# D#maj7
     But my love was a rambler and restless as the sea,
A# D#maj7 A#     F/A         A#  D#maj7
     And in the tide came sorrow.

[Verse 4]
---------------------
A#     A#                D#maj7 F/A             A# D#maj7
 Oh, a child of the night   is goin' to be born,
A# D#maj7 A#      D#maj7        A#   D#maj7
     I can't explain my confusion.
A# D#maj7 A#          D#maj7  F/A           A# D#maj7
     Is my love thinkin' to marry me at all
A# D#maj7           A#     F/A              A#   D#maj7
     Or of the freedom he thinks he'll be losin'?

[Verse 5]
---------------------
A# A#                         F/A             A# D#maj7
 I sit with my friends in the gay crowded room,
A# D#maj7 A#              D#maj7          A#   D#maj7
     My friends they're smokin' and atalkin'.
A# D#maj7    A#              D#maj7 F/A        A#    D#maj7
     But it all seems so empty, my love is not there,
A# D#maj7     A#          F/A        A#   D#maj7
     So I'll go into the streets awalkin'.

[Verse 6]
---------------------
A#  A#       D#maj7      F/A            A# D#maj7
 My baby is agrowin' as agrowin' it must,
A# D#maj7 A#            D#maj7                A#  D#maj7
     If I were to lose   it, it would grieve me.
A# D#maj7 A#                 D#maj7     F/A                 A# D#maj7
     My love is so helpless   and I'm wonderin' what to do.
A# D#maj7 A#        F/A         A#   D#maj7
      Oh, how I yearn to help him.

[Verse 7]
---------------------
A#  A#          D#maj7    F/A               A# D#maj7
 Oh, we could go   to the land of your choice
A# D#maj7       A#                     D#maj7            A# D#maj7
     Where the false shame won't come knockin' at our door.
A# D#maj7    A#                 D#maj7      F/A                  A# D#maj7
     I've a feeling in my heart   and it's crushing all my hopes,
A# D#maj7 A#                F/A            A# D#maj7 A#
     I think I'm gonna be    hurt some more,

[Interlude]
---------------------
A# | D#maj7 | A# | D#maj7 | A# | D#maj7 | A# | D#maj7 

[Verse 8]
---------------------
A# D#maj7 A#    D#maj7        F/A          A# D#maj7
     Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine
A# D#maj7  A#       D#maj7          A#  D#maj7
     With hair coal   black as a raven.
A# D#maj7 A#               D#maj7 F/A       A# D#maj7
     I travelled my life   without a care,
A# D#maj7        A#  F/A         A#   D#maj7 A# D#maj7 A#
     Ah, but all my love I was savin'.
