Verse
D A
Well I got to Haight I was a little late
Bm A
It was an empty dream, I found
F#m Bm
Gone away, child, to another day
Em A
When they passed the flowers around
D A
So I turned my collar away from the chill
Bm A
Of the San Francisco night
F#m Bm
Turned my head back cross the water, Lord
Em A D
Everything’s going to be all right
D7
[Chorus]
G F#m
There might be war in the core of Baltimore
Em D
Or a breakdown in L.A.
G F#m
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
Em A
And people look the other way
G F#m
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
Em Bm A
It’s sad, but God, it’s true
D Em F#m 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
Bm A
They chained him to the ground
F#m Bm
Colorado, Lord, don’t want me now
Em A
It’s all right I’ve been found
D A
So Mama stop your crying, don’t worry about me
Bm A
It’s gonna work out fine some day
F#m Bm
If you gave me a million dollar bill
Em A D
You couldn’t turn my heart away.
D7
[Chorus/Outro]
G F#m
There might be war in the core of Baltimore
Em D
Or a breakdown in L.A.
G F#m
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
Em A
And people look the other way
G F#m
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
Em Bm A
It’s sad, but God, it’s true
D Em F#m G
I got John and Mary and sanctuary
A G
On Telegraph Avenue
D
Oh I love you
G
I do love you
D
Oh my friend I love you
G
Oh, ohhh
