No More Songs
Words and music by Phil Ochs


Intro chords: Dm\C\Bb\A

Em
Hello, hello, hello
         C
Is there anybody home?
  Em                     C  D
I only called to say I'm sorry.
        Em
But the drums are in the dawn
    G              D
And all the voices gone
       C                    D       Em
And it seems that there are no more songs.


Once I knew a girl
She was a flower in a flame
I loved her as the sea sings sadly.
Now the ashes of a dream
Can be found in magazines
And it seems that there are no more songs.

Once I knew a saint
And he sang upon the stage
He told about the world his lover.
A ghost without a name
Stands ragged in the rain
And it seems that there are no more songs.

The rebels they were here
They came beside the door
They told me that the moon was bleeding.
Then all to my surprise
They took away my eyes
And it seems that there are no more songs.

A star is in the sky
And I now must say goodbye.
A whale is on the beach; he's dying.
A white flag in my hand
And a white bone in the sand
And it seems that there are no more songs.


Hello, hello, hello
Is there anybody home?
I only called to say I'm sorry.
The drums are in the dawn
And all the voices gone
And it seems that there are no more songs.
It seems that there are no more songs.
