verse 1
E B
Well I got to Haight I was a little late
C#m B
It was an empty dream, I found
G#m C#m
Gone away, child, to another day
F#m B
When they passed the flowers around

So I turned my collar away from the chill

Of the San Francisco night

Turned my head back cross the water, Lord
F#m B E
Everything’s going to be all right

A G#m
There might be war in the core of Baltimore
F#m E
Or a breakdown in L.A.
A G#m
They bring you down in the heart of Memphis town
F#m B
And people look the other way
A G#m
Well, if the lights burn cold in New York City
F#m C#m B
It’s sad, but God, it’s true
E F#m G#m A
I got John and Mary and sanctuary
B E
On Telegraph Avenue

E B
So Mama stop your crying, don’t worry about me
C#m B
It’s gonna work out fine some day

If you gave me a million dollar bill

You couldn’t turn my heart away.
