C C                                 F F                      C C
Elope with me Miss Private and we'll sail around the world
Dm Dm Am Am
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
Dm Dm Am Am
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take
Dm Dm Am Am F F
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays
Dm Dm Am Am
Oh elope with me in private and we'll set something ablaze
Dm Dm G G Am Am
A A trail for the devil to erase


C C F F C C
San Francisco's calling us the Giants and Mets will play
Dm Dm F F Am Am
Piazza New York catcher are you straight or are you gay
Dm Dm F F Am Am
We hung about the stadium we've got no place to stay
Dm Dm F F Am Am
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
Dm Dm Am Am
About the saddest book you ever read it always makes you cry
Dm Dm G G Am Am
The statue's crying too and well he may


C C F F C C
I love you I've a drowning grip on your adoring face
Dm Dm Am Am F F
I love you my responsibility has found a place
Dm Dm F F Am Am
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
Dm Dm F F Am Am
Come wave upon me from the wider family net absurd
Dm Dm Am Am
You'll take care of her I know it you will do a better job
Dm Dm G G Am Am
Maybe but not what she deserves


C C F F C C
Elope with me Miss Private and we'll drink ourselves awake
Dm Dm F F Am Am
We'll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
Dm Dm Am Am
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960s style
Dm Dm F F Am Am
We'll comment on the decor and we'll help the passer by
Dm Dm Am Am
And at dusk when work is over we'll continue the debate
Dm Dm G G Am Am
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare


C C F F C C
The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
Dm Dm F F Am Am
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
Dm Dm F F Am Am
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
Dm Dm F F Am Am
He knows the drink affects his speed he's praying for a doorway
Dm Dm Am Am
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
Dm Dm G G Am Am
Life outside the diamond is a wrench


C C F F C C
I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
Dm Dm F F Am Am
I know it wouldn't come to love my heroine pretend
Dm Dm F F Am Am
A A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
Dm Dm F F Am Am
You'd settle for an epitaph like "Walk Away Renee"
Dm Dm F F Am Am
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower


Dm Dm G G Am Am
Meet you at the statue in an hour
Dm Dm G G Am Am
Meet you at the statue in an hour
