this is exactly the same as the original except all the chords
have been moved up a semitone, so that none of the chords
specifically have to be barred. if you want you can tune your
guitar down half a step to acheive the sound on the record.
G C G
Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world
Am Em
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
Am D
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
Am D
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
C Em
Oh elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze
Am D Em
A trail for the devil to erase
G C G
San Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
Am Em
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
Am D
We hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay
Am D
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
C Em
About the saddest book you ever read, it always makes you cry
Am D Em
The statue’s crying too and well he may
G C G
I love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face
Am Em
I love you my responsibility has found a place
Am D
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
Am D
Come wave upon me from the wider family net absurd
C Em
“You’ll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job”
Am D Em
Maybe, but not what she deserves
G C G
Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake
Am Em
We’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
Am D
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style
Am D
We’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by
C Em
And at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate
Am D Em
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare
G C G
The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
Am Em
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
Am D
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
Am D
He knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for
A doorway
C Em
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
Am D Em
Life outside the diamond is a wrench
G C G
I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
Am Em
I know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend
Am D
A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
Am D
You’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee”
C Em
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like
A flower
Am D Em
Meet you at the statue in an hour
Am D Em
Meet you at the statue in an hour
