Tom: C#m
E B C#m
Wish I was back there in New England
E B C#m
Playing in dirt behind the bar
E B C#m A
Our shouting voices intermingling with “Little Little Willy” from the car
E G#m7 A
Back on the raft down in the harbor
E G#m7 A
Trying to push each other in
E G#m7 A
Waving hi to all the fisher boys
B E
Going to deep-sea with their kin
[CHORUS]
C#m A
Better go see Elijah
F#
'cause he’s my only friend
E F#
Yeah, there’s only us two
G# A E
It’s just us in the end
C#m A
Better go see Elijah
F#
Got nothing to say
E G#m A
But I know that’s okay
[BRIDGE]*

On the bus down to Redondo

We’ve got enough for single fare

Skating back down to the condos

Breathing in that dirty air

Well you were right to never go back

If I had only done the same
E G#m7 A B E
Too many years I kept on trying to win that California game

Wish I was back there in New England
E B C#m
Playing in dirt behind the bar
E B C#m A
I hear our voices intermingling with “Little Little Willy” from the car
E G#m7 A
On the cliffs above the Blue Coast
E G#m7 A
Was that the last time we were free?
E G#m7 A
And where has everybody gone to?
B E
Or was it only you and me?
