Verse
B F#
Well I got to Haight I was a little late
G#m F#
It was an empty dream, I found
D#m G#m
Gone away, child, to another day
C#m F#
When they passed the flowers around
B F#
So I turned my collar away from the chill
G#m F#
Of the San Francisco night
D#m G#m
Turned my head back cross the water, Lord
C#m F# B
Everything’s going to be all right
B7
[Chorus]
E D#m
There might be war in the core of Baltimore
C#m B
Or a breakdown in L.A.
E D#m
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
C#m F#
And people look the other way
E D#m
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
C#m G#m F#
It’s sad, but God, it’s true
B C#m D#m E
I got John and Mary and sanctuary
F# B
On Telegraph Avenue
[Verse 2]
B F#
Well the eagle don’t fly the Alabama sky
G#m F#
They chained him to the ground
D#m G#m
Colorado, Lord, don’t want me now
C#m F#
It’s all right I’ve been found
B F#
So Mama stop your crying, don’t worry about me
G#m F#
It’s gonna work out fine some day
D#m G#m
If you gave me a million dollar bill
C#m F# B
You couldn’t turn my heart away.
B7
[Chorus/Outro]
E D#m
There might be war in the core of Baltimore
C#m B
Or a breakdown in L.A.
E D#m
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
C#m F#
And people look the other way
E D#m
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
C#m G#m F#
It’s sad, but God, it’s true

I got John and Mary and sanctuary
