Key: :[A#] (w: Robbie Robertson)
VERSE 1:
[A#] Boards on the window,
[D7] mail by the door
[G7] What would anybody leave so
[C7] quickly for?
Op-
[D#]-elia,
[F7] where have you
[A#] gone?
[G7] [C7] [F7]
VERSE 2:
[A#] The old neighborhood,
[D7] just ain't the same
[G7] Nobody knows just what
[C7] became of...
Op-
[D#]-elia,
[F7] tell me, what went
[A#] wrong?
[G7] [C7] [F7]
BRIDGE:
[D#] Was it somethin' that some-
[A#]-body said?
[F7] Mama, I know we broke the
[A#] rules
[D#] Was somebody up
[A#] against the law?
[F7] Honey, you know I'd die for
[F7+5] you
VERSE 3:
[A#] Ashes of laughter,
[D7] the ghost is clear
[G7] Why do the best things always
[C7] disappear
Like Op-
[D#]-helia,
[F7] please darken my
[A#] door
[G7] [C7] [F7]

[A#] They got your number,
[D7] scared and runnin'
[G7] But I'm still waitin' for the

Op-
[D#]-helia,
[F7] Come back
[A#] home
[G7] [C7] [F7]
