Band, Ophelia (1975)
Key: :[D#] (w: Robbie Robertson)
VERSE 1:
[D#] Boards on the window,
[G7] mail by the door
[C7] What would anybody leave so
[F7] quickly for?
Op-
[G#]-elia,
[A#7] where have you
[D#] gone?
[C7] [F7] [A#7]
VERSE 2:
[D#] The old neighborhood,
[G7] just ain't the same
[C7] Nobody knows just what
[F7] became of...
Op-
[G#]-elia,
[A#7] tell me, what went
[D#] wrong?
[C7] [F7] [A#7]
BRIDGE:
[G#] Was it somethin' that some-
[D#]-body said?
[A#7] Mama, I know we broke the
[D#] rules
[G#] Was somebody up
[D#] against the law?
[A#7] Honey, you know I'd die for
[A#7+5] you
VERSE 3:
[D#] Ashes of laughter,
[G7] the ghost is clear
[C7] Why do the best things always
[F7] disappear
Like Op-
[G#]-helia,
[A#7] please darken my
[D#] door
[C7] [F7] [A#7]

REPEAT BRIDGE:
VERSE 4:
[D#] They got your number,
[G7] scared and runnin'
[C7] But I'm still waitin' for the
[F7] second comin' of
Op-
[G#]-helia,
[A#7] Come back
[D#] home
[C7] [F7] [A#7]
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE x2]
