Raymond

Am                                G
  I work down at Ashbury Hills, minimum wage but it pays the bills
   C                                    G
Cleaning floors, and leading hymns on Sunday.
 Am                       G
Katherine Davis room 303, the sweetest soul you ever could meet.
    Em               D           C
I bring her morning coffee every day.


[Chorus]
               C                          G
She calls me Raymond. She thinks I'm her son.
          C                                   D
Tells me get washed up for supper 'fore your daddy gets home.
         C
She goes on about the weather,
        Em                  D     A
How she can't believe it's already 1943.
                C
She calls me Raymond,
                         Am  G
and that's alright by me


[Verse]
                   Am
She talks about clothes on the line in the summer air,
    G
Christmas morning and Thanksgiving prayer
       C                                G
And stories of the family that I never had.
         Em             D                      C
Well, sometimes I find myself wishing I'd been there


[Chorus]
                    C                          G
When she calls me Raymond. She thinks I'm her son.
          C                                   D
Tells me get washed up for supper 'fore your daddy gets home.
         C
She goes on about the weather,
        Em                  D     A
How she can't believe it's already 1943.
                C
She calls me Raymond,
                       G
and that's alright by me


[Bridge]
          Am
There's a small white cross in Arlington,
         G
Reads Raymond Davis '71.
  F
Until she can see his face again
      C
I'm gonna fill in the best I can...


[Chorus]
                     C                          G
When she calls me Raymond. She thinks I'm her son.
          C                                   D
Tells me get washed up for supper 'fore your daddy gets home.
         C
She goes on about the weather,
        Em                  D     A
How she can't believe it's already 1943.
                C
She calls me Raymond,
       F              G
and that's alright by me


[Outro]
                C
She calls me Raymond,
