Song : Donald And Lydia (Mod.not to slow 3/4 timing)   By John Prine

C                         F       C
Small town bright lights Saturday night,
                           D7             G7
Pin balls and pool halls flashing their lights
         C                           F         C
Making change behind a counter in a penny arcade,
                            G7             C
Sat the fat girl daughter of Virginia and Ray (spoken) Lydia
                      F         C                               D7         G7
Lydia hid her thoughts like a cat, behind her small eyes sunk deep in her fat
          C               F          C
She read romance magazines up in her room
                               G7             C
And felt just like Sunday on Saturday afternoon

(Chorus)
G7    F                     C             G7                  C   
But dreaming just comes natural like the first breath from a baby
C7       F             C                G7                        C
Like sunshine feeding daisies, Like the love hidden deep in your heart


C                      F      C
Bunkbeds shaved heads Saturday night
                               D7          G7
A ware house of strangers with sixty watt lights
C                               F       C                         G7    C
Staring though the ceiling just wanting to be, lay a one of to many a young PFC (spoken) Donald
C                                        F       C
There were spaces between Donald and what ever he said
                            D7          G7
Strangers had forced him to live in his head
    C                         F       C   
He envisioned the details of romantic scenes after midnight in the stillness of
      G7         C
the barrack's latrine
(repeat chorus)
C                     F         C                           D7          G7   
Hot love, cold love, no love at all, a portrait of guilt is hung on the wall
C                  F          C                      G7             C      
Nothing is wrong, nothing is right, Donald and Lydia made love that night (spoken) Love
       G7   C                                 F               C
They made love in the mountains, they made love in the streams
                                           D7             G7
They made love in the valleys, they made love in their dreams
      C                                    F
But when they were finished, there was nothing to say
C                                  G7       C    C7
'Cause mostly they made love from ten miles away
(repeat chorus)
