He wrote hundreds of songs in the 1960s and released eight albums in his lifetime.
Ochs performed at many political events, including anti-Vietnam War and civil rights rallies

No More Songs
Into:
Dm /C /Bb /A
Verse 1: (use same chord pattern on all verses)
Dm
Hello, hello, hello
C
Is there anybody home?
Dm
I've only called to say
Bb C
I'm sorry.
Dm
The drums are in the dawn,
F C
and all the voices gone.
Bb C Dm
And it seems that there are no more songs.
Verse 2:
Once I knew a girl
She was a flower in a flame
I loved her as the sea sinks/sings(?) sadly
Now the ashes of the dream
Can be found in the magazines.
And it seems that there are no more songs.
Verse 3:
Once I knew a sage
who 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.
Interlude:
Dm /C /Bb /A
Verse 4:
The rebels they were here
They came beside the door
They told me that the moon was bleeding
Then all to my suprise,
They took away my eyes.
And it seems that there are no more songs.
Verse 5:
A (scar, star)?? is in the sky,
It's time to 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.
Verse 6:
Hello, hello, hello
Is there anybody home?
I've 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.
Bb C Dm
It seems that there are no more songs.
Bb C Dm
It seems that there are no more songs.
