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

Or a breakdown in L.A.
D# Dm
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
Cm F
And people look the other way
D# Dm
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
Cm Gm F
It’s sad, but God, it’s true

I got John and Mary and sanctuary

On Telegraph Avenue

Oh I love you

Oh my friend I love you

Oh, ohhh
