Verse
F C
Well I got to Haight I was a little late
Dm C
It was an empty dream, I found
Am Dm
Gone away, child, to another day
Gm C
When they passed the flowers around
F C
So I turned my collar away from the chill
Dm C
Of the San Francisco night
Am Dm
Turned my head back cross the water, Lord
Gm C F
Everything’s going to be all right
F7
[Chorus]
A# Am
There might be war in the core of Baltimore
Gm F
Or a breakdown in L.A.
A# Am
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
Gm C
And people look the other way
A# Am
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
Gm Dm C
It’s sad, but God, it’s true
F Gm Am A#
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
Dm C
They chained him to the ground
Am Dm
Colorado, Lord, don’t want me now
Gm C
It’s all right I’ve been found
F C
So Mama stop your crying, don’t worry about me
Dm C
It’s gonna work out fine some day
Am Dm
If you gave me a million dollar bill
Gm C F
You couldn’t turn my heart away.
F7
[Chorus/Outro]
A# Am
There might be war in the core of Baltimore

Or a breakdown in L.A.
A# Am
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town

And people look the other way
A# Am
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City

It’s sad, but God, it’s true

Oh my friend I love you

Oh, ohhh
