Verse
F# C#
Well I got to Haight I was a little late
D#m C#
It was an empty dream, I found
A#m D#m
Gone away, child, to another day
G#m C#
When they passed the flowers around
F# C#
So I turned my collar away from the chill
D#m C#
Of the San Francisco night
A#m D#m
Turned my head back cross the water, Lord
G#m C# F#
Everything’s going to be all right
F#7
[Chorus]
B A#m
There might be war in the core of Baltimore
G#m F#
Or a breakdown in L.A.
B A#m
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
G#m C#
And people look the other way
B A#m
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
G#m D#m C#
It’s sad, but God, it’s true
F# G#m A#m B
I got John and Mary and sanctuary
C# F#
On Telegraph Avenue
[Verse 2]
F# C#
Well the eagle don’t fly the Alabama sky
D#m C#
They chained him to the ground
A#m D#m
Colorado, Lord, don’t want me now
G#m C#
It’s all right I’ve been found
F# C#
So Mama stop your crying, don’t worry about me
D#m C#
It’s gonna work out fine some day
A#m D#m
If you gave me a million dollar bill
G#m C# F#
You couldn’t turn my heart away.
F#7
[Chorus/Outro]
B A#m
There might be war in the core of Baltimore
G#m F#
Or a breakdown in L.A.
B A#m
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
G#m C#
And people look the other way
B A#m
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
G#m D#m C#
It’s sad, but God, it’s true
F# G#m A#m B
I got John and Mary and sanctuary

Oh I love you

Oh my friend I love you

Oh, ohhh
