An Elegy For Baby Blue

C Bm F

[Verse]

             G                Bm
Fifteen past Midnight, on the west side,
      F
we're dodging shady blocks like land-mines.
C                Bm
Scum hides under streetlights
         F
and with gun in hand they caught me tonight.
         Am             F
We won't capsize in the meantime.
         C                    G
We won't break down; we'll be all right.
            C                 Bm
We'll just dust off and head back inside.
           F
He didn't know it yet, man, but Dylan was right

[Chorus]

                  C    F            C
Because it's all over now Baby Blue.
              F                G
It's like the world stopped revolving in the absence of you.
           F         Am
We'll stay bone dry despite
    G            Em
The red eyes and long nights.
C        F                Am            G
Nothing about you but your wheel's been anything but true.

[Post-Chorus]

[Verse]

C      Em     F
Come on, man. You've been a good friend.
C           Bm            F
I had that dream where we found you again.
C             F
Come on, man. We didn't stand a chance.
C                                F
It broke my heart to watch them ride you down Mifflin.
C         Bm        F            C
Sometimes, at night, I swear I hear you screaming,
C
  "No!
Bm
  No!
F
  Don't let me go..."

[Chorus]

      C       F             C
it's all over now Baby Blue.
              F                G
It's like the world stopped revolving in the absence of you.
           F   Am
We'll stay bone dry
  G     Em
long nights.
C        F                   G
Nothing about you but your wheel's been anything but true.

[Outro]

C  F Am G x2
(when playing the second time, mute the g)

C                         F
Won't be afraid to walk down my own street forever.
C                   F
We're never (never) getting caught again.
G                              Am
So, if you see them tell them (So, if you see them tell them)


C                         F
Won't be afraid to walk down my own street forever.
C                   F
We're never (never) getting caught again.
G
So, if you see them tell them...
Am
If you see them tell them...
F
If you see them tell them...
C
"Man, I just want my bike back."
