Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

G C

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last

G D

But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast

G C

Yonder stands your orphan with his gun

G D

Crying like a fire in the sun

G

Look out the saints are comin’ through

C G

And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

Chorus

C G

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense

C G

Take what you have gathered from coinci-dence

C G

The empty-handed painter from your streets

C G

Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets

C G

This sky, too, is folding under you

D G

And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

Verse 2

G C

All your seasick sailors, they are rowin’ home

G D

Your empty-handed armies, are all goin’ home

G C

The lover who just walked out your door

G D

Has taken all his blankets from the floor

G C

The carpet, too, is moving under you

G D

And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

Chorus

C G

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense

C G

Take what you have gathered from coinci-dence

C G

The empty-handed painter from your streets

C G

Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets

C G

This sky, too, is folding under you

D G

And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

Verse 3

G C

Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you

G D

Forget the dead you’ve left, they will not follow you

G C

The vagabond who’s rapping at your door

G D

Is standing in the clothes that you once wore

G C

Strike another match, go start anew

G D

And it’s all over now, Baby Blue

Chorus

C G

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense

C G

Take what you have gathered from coinci-dence

C G

The empty-handed painter from your streets

C G

Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets

C G

This sky, too, is folding under you

D G

And it’s all over now, Baby Blue
