VERSE 1:
[Db] Boards on the window,
[F7] mail by the door

[Eb7] quickly for?
Op-
[Gb]-elia,
[Ab7] where have you
[Db] gone?
[Bb7] [Eb7] [Ab7]
VERSE 2:
[Db] The old neighborhood,
[F7] just ain't the same
[Bb7] Nobody knows just what
[Eb7] became of...
Op-
[Gb]-elia,
[Ab7] tell me, what went
[Db] wrong?
[Bb7] [Eb7] [Ab7]
BRIDGE:
[Gb] Was it somethin' that some-
[Db]-body said?

[Db] rules
[Gb] Was somebody up
[Db] against the law?
[Ab7] Honey, you know I'd die for
[Ab7+5] you
VERSE 3:
[Db] Ashes of laughter,
[F7] the ghost is clear
[Bb7] Why do the best things always
[Eb7] disappear
Like Op-

[Db] door
[Bb7] [Eb7] [Ab7]

[Ab7] Come back
[Db] home
[Bb7] [Eb7] [Ab7]
