[D]


[A]You must leave now take what you need you [D]think will last
But what[A]ever you wish to keep you better [D]grab it fast
[Em]Yonder stands your [G]orphan with his [D]gun
[Em]Crying like a [G]fire in the [D]sun
[F#m]Look out baby the saints are coming [A]through
And [Em]it’s all over [G]now Baby [D]Blue


The [A]highway is for gamblers better [D]use your sense
[A]Take what you have gathered from co[D]incidence
The [Em]empty handed [G]painter from your [D]streets
Is [Em]drawing crazy [G]patterns on your [D]sheets
[F#m]This sky too is folding under [A]you
And [Em]it’s all over [G]now Baby [D]Blue


[A]All your seasick sailors they are [D]rowing home
Your [A]empty handed armies are all [D]going home
The [Em]lover who just [G]walked out your [D]door
Has [Em]taken all his [G]blankets from the [D]floor
The [F#m]carpet too is moving under [A]you
And [Em]it’s all over [G]now Baby [D]Blue


[A] [D] [A] [D] [Em] [G] [D] [Em] [G] [D] [F#m] [A] [Em] [G] [D]


Leave your [A]stepping stones behind something [D]calls for you
For[A]get the dead you’ve left they will not [D]follow you
The [Em]vagabond who’s [G]rapping at your [D]door
Is [Em]standing in the [G]clothes that you once [D]wore
[F#m]Strike another match go start a[A]new
And [Em]it’s all over [G]now Baby [D]Blue
Yes [Em]it’s all over [G]now Baby [D]Blue
