The miracle of Joey Ramone    (video)

 

    Am        C - G - F

    Oh, oh, oh ….       (2x)           +  Am - Am - Am - G - F (2x)

 

               Am

1. I was chasing down the days of fear,

       G                                               F

    chasing down a dream before it disappeared.

             Am

    I was aching to be somewhere near,

              G                     F

    your voice was all I heard.

 

               Am

2. I was shaking from a storm in me,

       G                                                F

    haunted by the spectres that we had to see.

                 Am

    Yeah, I wanted to be the melody,

                       G                        F

    above the noise, above the hurt.

              Am              C              G                    F

    I was young, not dumb, just wishing to be blinded

         Am               C                          D

    by you, brand new, and we were pilgrims on our way.

 

    G                       D                         Bm           A

I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred,

               G                                 D                        A

heard a song that made some sense out of the world.

 G                 D             Bm                     A

Everything I ever lost, now has been returned,

                   G           D                     A

the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard.

 

    Am        C - G - F

+  Oh, oh, oh ….       (2x)

 

                Am

3. We got language so we can't communicate,

        G                     F

    religion so I can love and hate,

      Am                                            G            F

    music, so I can exaggerate my pain, and give it a name.

              Am              C              G                    F

    I was young, not dumb, just wishing to be blinded

         Am               C                          D

    by you, brand new, and we were pilgrims on our way.

 

    G                       D                         Bm           A

I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred,

               G                                 D                        A

heard a song that made some sense out of the world.

 G                 D             Bm                     A

Everything I ever lost, now has been returned,

                   G           D                     A

the most beautiful sound I'd ever heard.

 

                  Am             C                          G     F

+  We can hear you (hear you), we can hear you !

                  Am             C             G - F

    We can hear you (hear you) oo......h !

 

+  Am - Am - Am - G - F (2x)

 

     G                      D                        Bm            A

I woke up at the moment when the miracle occurred,

    G                  D                      A

I get so many things I don't deserve.

 G                    D             Bm                   A

All the stolen voices will someday be returned,

                    G          D                    A

the most beautiful sound I’d ever heard.

 

    Am        C - G - F

+  Oh, oh, oh ….       (2x)    + Am - Am
