Tom: Am
C 032010
Cadd4 033010 (add the little finger on the 4th string)
G 220000 (actually an Em7, but this is what he plays for G)
F 003211
Dm 200231 (use the thumb to fret the 6th string)
E x22100 (or maybe E7: x22130)
(Note: be sure to strum the 6th string to keep the distinctive
droning C note going.)
[Intro]
C and Cadd4
(hammering onto the 4th string at the 2nd fret)
[Verse 1]
G F C
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
G F C
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Dm F C
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Dm F C
Crying like a fire in the sun
E7 F G
Look out the saints are coming through
Dm F C
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
[Verse 2]
G F C
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
G F C
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
Dm F C
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Dm F C
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
E7 F G
The sky, too, is folding under you
Dm F C
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
[Verse 3]
G F C
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
G F C
Your empty handed armies, they're all going home.
Dm F C
The lover who just walked out your door
Dm F C
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
E7 F G
The carpet, too, is moving under you
Dm F C
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
[Verse 4]
G F C
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
G F C
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
Dm F C
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Dm F C
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
E7 F G
Strike another match, go start anew
Dm F C
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
