[VERSE]

E5           B5                 C#5
 Wish I was back there in New England
E5           B5               C#5
 Playing in dirt behind the bar
E5             B5           C#5          A5
 Our shouting voices intermingling with ?Little Little Willy? from the car

E5           Ab5              A5
 Back on the raft down in the harbor
E5                    Ab5  A5
 Trying to push each other in
E5       Ab5            A5
 Waving hi to all the fisher boys
B5                                 E5
 Going to deep-sea with their kin

[CHORUS]
            C#5          A5
     Better go see Elijah
                         F#5
     'cause he?s my only friend
                   E5       F#5
     Yeah, there?s only us two
               Ab5        A5    E5
     It?s just us in the end
            C#5         A5
     Better go see Elijah
                    F#5
     Got nothing to say
                     E5     Ab5  A5
     But I know that?s okay

[BRIDGE]*
B5
  Go see him now,
B5
  Go see him now
B5
  Go see him now
B5                  E5
 What?s that you say?

E5       B5              C#5
 On the bus down to Redondo
E5             B5                  C#5
 We?ve got enough for single fare
E5        B5                C#5
 Skating back down to the condos
A5
 Breathing in that dirty air
E5              Ab5            A5
 Well you were right to never go back
E5         Ab5          A5
 If I had only done the same
E5         Ab5            A5                 B5                E5
 Too many years I kept on trying to win that California game

 Playing in dirt behind the bar
E5           B5           C#5          A5
 I hear our voices intermingling with ?Little Little Willy? from the car

E5       Ab5               A5
 On the cliffs above the Blue Coast
E5               Ab5              A5
 Was that the last time we were free?
E5                   Ab5       A5
 And where has everybody gone to?
               B5            E5
 Or was it only you and me?
