(C major) (C major) (C major) (C major)
Verse 1
E (C major) lope with me, Miss Private,
and we'll (F major) sail around the (C major) world
(D minor) I will be your Ferdinand
and (A minor) you my wayward girl
How (D minor) many nights of talking in
ho (G major) tel rooms can you take?
How (D minor) many nights of limping round
on (G major) pagan holidays?
Oh e (F major) lope with me in private
and we'll (A minor) set something ablaze
A (D minor) trail for the (G major) devil to e (A minor) rase

Verse 2
(C major) San Francisco's calling us,
the (F major) Giants and Mets will (C major) play
Pi (D minor) azza, New York catcher,
are you (A minor) straight or are you gay?
We (D minor) hung about the stadium,
we've (G major) got no place to stay
We (D minor) hung about the Tenderloin
and (G major) tenderly you tell about
the (F major) saddest book you ever read,
it (A minor) always makes you cry
The (D minor) statue's crying (G major) too and well he may (A minor)
Verse 3
I (C major) love you
I've a drowning grip on (F major) your adoring (C major) face
I (D minor) love you, my responsibili (A minor) ty has found a place
Be (D minor) side you and strong warnings
in the gu (G major) ise of gentle words
Come (D minor) wave upon me from the family
(G major) wider net absurd
"You'll take (F major) care of her, I know it,
you will (A minor) do a better job"
(D minor) Maybe, but (G major) not what she deserves (A minor)
Verse 4
E (C major) lope with me, Miss Private,
and we'll (F major) drink ourselves awake (C major)
We'll (D minor) taste the coffee houses
and a (A minor) ward certificates
A (D minor) privy seal to keep the feel of (G major) 1960 style
We'll (D minor) comment on the decor
and we'll (G major) help the passer by
And at (F major) dusk when work is over
we'll con (A minor) tinue the debate
In a (D minor) borrowed bedroom (G major) virginal and (A minor) spare
Verse 5
The (C major) catcher hits for .318
and (F major) catches every day (C major)
The (D minor) pitcher puts religion first
and (A minor) rests on holidays
He (D minor) goes into cathedrals
and lies (G major) prostrate on the floor
He (D minor) knows the drink affects his speed,
he's (G major) praying for a doorway
Back in (F major) to the life he wants
and the con (A minor) fession of the bench
(D minor) Life outside the di (G major) amond is a (A minor) wrench
Verse 6
I (C major) wish that you were here with me
to (F major) pass the dull weekend (C major)
I (D minor) know it wouldn't come to love,
my (A minor) heroine pretend
A (D minor) lady stepping from the song
we (G major) love until this day
You'd (D minor) settle for an epitaph
like (G major) "Walk Away, Renee"
The sun upon (F major) the roof in winter
will draw (A minor) you out like a flower
(D minor) Meet you at the (G major) statue in an hour (A minor)
(D minor) Meet you at the (G major) statue in an (A minor) hour
