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

I do love you

Oh my friend I love you

Oh, ohhh
