B7
You must leave now
                         A         E
Take what you need, you think will last
        B7                         A      E
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast.
F#m                A                E
Yonder stands your orphan, with his gun
F#m            A          E
Crying like a fire in the sun.
G#7                     A       B7
Look out the saints are comin' through
    F#m           A         E
And it's all over now, baby blue.

B7                                  A        E
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sins
B7                               A         E
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
F#m                           A     E
The empty-handed painter from your streets
F#m                       A       E
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
G#7                      A     B7
This sky too, is folding under you
    F#m           A         E
And it's all over now, baby blue.

B7                                 A      E
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home
B7                                A     E
All your reindeer armies, are all going home
F#m                       A        E
The lover who just walked out your door
F#m                        A        E
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
G#7                       A     B7
The carpet too, is moving under you
F#m               A          E
And it's all over now, baby blue.

B7                                         A         E
Leave your stepping stones behind, someone calls for you
B7                                         A        E
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
F#m                           A    E
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
F#m                             A         E
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
G#7                      A     B7
Strike another match, go start anew
F#m               A          E
And it's all over now, baby blue.
F#m               A          E
And it's all over now, baby blue.
