[VERSE]
E B C#m
Wish I was back there in New England
E B C#m
Playing in dirt behind the bar
E B C#m A
Our shouting voices intermingling with “Little Little Willy” from the car
E G#m7 A
Back on the raft down in the harbor
E G#m7 A
Trying to push each other in
E G#m7 A
Waving hi to all the fisher boys
B E
Going to deep-sea with their kin
[CHORUS]
C#m A
Better go see Elijah
F#
'cause he’s my only friend
E F#
Yeah, there’s only us two
G# A E
It’s just us in the end
C#m A
Better go see Elijah
F#
Got nothing to say
E G#m A
But I know that’s okay
[BRIDGE]*
B
Go see him now,
B/A
Go see him now
B/G#
Go see him now

What’s that you say?

On the bus down to Redondo

We’ve got enough for single fare
E B C#m
Skating back down to the condos

Breathing in that dirty air

Well you were right to never go back

If I had only done the same
E G#m7 A B E
Too many years I kept on trying to win that California game

Playing in dirt behind the bar

I hear our voices intermingling with “Little Little Willy” from the car
E G#m7 A
On the cliffs above the Blue Coast
E G#m7 A
Was that the last time we were free?
E G#m7 A
And where has everybody gone to?
B E
Or was it only you and me?
