Verse
A E
Well I got to Haight I was a little late
F#m E
It was an empty dream, I found
C#m F#m
Gone away, child, to another day
Bm E
When they passed the flowers around
A E
So I turned my collar away from the chill
F#m E
Of the San Francisco night
C#m F#m
Turned my head back cross the water, Lord
Bm E A
Everything’s going to be all right
A7
[Chorus]
D C#m
There might be war in the core of Baltimore
Bm A
Or a breakdown in L.A.
D C#m
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
Bm E
And people look the other way
D C#m
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
Bm F#m E
It’s sad, but God, it’s true
A Bm C#m D
I got John and Mary and sanctuary
E A
On Telegraph Avenue
[Verse 2]
A E
Well the eagle don’t fly the Alabama sky
F#m E
They chained him to the ground
C#m F#m
Colorado, Lord, don’t want me now
Bm E
It’s all right I’ve been found
A E
So Mama stop your crying, don’t worry about me
F#m E
It’s gonna work out fine some day
C#m F#m
If you gave me a million dollar bill
Bm E A
You couldn’t turn my heart away.
A7
[Chorus/Outro]
D C#m
There might be war in the core of Baltimore
Bm A
Or a breakdown in L.A.
D C#m
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
Bm E
And people look the other way
D C#m
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
Bm F#m E
It’s sad, but God, it’s true
A Bm C#m D
I got John and Mary and sanctuary
E D
On Telegraph Avenue
A
Oh I love you

I do love you

Oh my friend I love you

Oh, ohhh
