[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 Ab5 A5
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

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
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?
