VERSE 1

E          A      B    E
I'm really sorry Steven
Ab                          C#m  A
But your bicycle's been stolen
E
I was watchin it for you 
F#                        A
'Til you came back in the fall
    F#                          A
Guess I didn't do such a good job after all

VERSE 2

E         A          B       E
I was feeling really sorry Steven
Ab                      C#m      A
And I spent all morning grieving
E
And everybody's saying
F#                         A
That you'll take the news gracefully
F#                          A                        
Somehow I don't think I'll be getting off that easily

CHORUS

C#m             A
I meant her no harm
E               Ab
When I left her unlocked Outside the Orange Street Food Farm
C#m                 A
I was just running in
E                             Eb
Didn't think I'd be that long
C#m                   A
I came out, she was gone
E                             Ab
And all that was there was some bored old dog
C#m               A                  E
Leashed up to the place where your bicycle had been
F#                       B
Guess we'll never see poor Madeleine again

VERSE 3
E            A       B        E
Let this be consolation, Steven
Ab                                   C#m  A
That all the while you were in England
E
I treated her with care and respect
F#                        A
And have her lots of love
                   F#                        A
And I was usually pretty good 'bout locking her up

CHORUS

C#m             A
Where has she gone?
E                  Ab
Well, I bet she's on the bottom of a Frenchtown pond
C#m                                 A
Rudely abused on some hescher's joyride
E                       Eb
So I wrote you this song
C#m                              A
In the hopes that you'd forgive me
E                      Ab
Even though it was wrong
C#m               A                  E
Being so careless with a thing so great
F#                               B
And taking your poor Madeleine away, away
