Frank Black – Elijah (Guitar)

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

            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

B
  Go see him now,

B/A
  Go see him now

B/G#
  Go see him now

B/F#                  E
 What's that you say?

E       B              C#m
 On the bus down to Redondo

E             B                  C#m
 We've got enough for single fare

E        B                C#m
 Skating back down to the condos

A
 Breathing in that dirty air

E              G#m7            A
 Well you were right to never go back

E         G#m7          A
 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

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?

            C#m          A
     Better go see Elijah

                         F#

                        G#m
     I got something to say

   A                    G#
     I got something to say
