Verse
G# D#
Well I got to Haight I was a little late
Fm D#
It was an empty dream, I found

Gone away, child, to another day

So I turned my collar away from the chill
Fm D#
Of the San Francisco night

Turned my head back cross the water, Lord
A#m D# G#
Everything’s going to be all right
G#7
[Chorus]
C# Cm
There might be war in the core of Baltimore
A#m G#
Or a breakdown in L.A.
C# Cm
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
A#m D#
And people look the other way
C# Cm
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
A#m Fm D#
It’s sad, but God, it’s true
G# A#m Cm C#
I got John and Mary and sanctuary
D# G#
On Telegraph Avenue

They chained him to the ground

Colorado, Lord, don’t want me now

So Mama stop your crying, don’t worry about me

It’s gonna work out fine some day

If you gave me a million dollar bill
A#m D# G#
You couldn’t turn my heart away.
