Counting Crows - Goodnight Elisabeth
Album: Recovering the Satellites
Tuning: Capo at 2nd fret
[Intro chords]
G D F C G D F C
[Verse 1]
G                   D         F            C
I was wasted in the afternoon, waiting on a train
G            D                   F                C
I woke up in pieces and Elisabeth, had disappeared again
G               D            F                   C
I wish you were inside of me, I hope that you're ok
G                     D        F                C
I hope you're resting quietly, I just wanted to say
[Chorus]
G     D
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
F                     C
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
G     D
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
F                     C
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
[Verse 2]
G                 D          F                C
We couldn't all be cowboys, so some of us are clowns
G              D
Some of us are dancers on the midway
F            C
We roam from town to town
G                D     F                 C
I hope that everybody, can find a little flame
          G                           D
And me I, say my prayers, then I just light myself on fire
      F                         C
And I walk out on the wire once again
         G
And I said
[Chorus]
G     D
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
F                     C
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
G     D
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
F                     C
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
[Solo]
G D F C G D F C G
[Verse 3]
G                      D
I will wait for you in Baton Rouge
F                    C
miss you down in New Orleans
G                           D
I'll wait for you while she slips in something comfortable
F                                  C
I'll miss you when I'm slipping in between
G                     D           F                       C
If you wrap yourself in daffodils, I will wrap myself in pain
G                          D
And if you're the queen of California
      F                    C
Baby, I am the king of the rain
           G
And I said
[Chorus]
G     D
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
F                     C
Goodnight, Elisabeth, goodnight
G     D
Good, goodnight, Elisabeth
F                            C
The moons, the satellites, yeah
               G             D
And I watch it fall down, on me now
       F            C
Oh she fall down on me
             G            D
Oh come,come fall down on me now
          F            C
Won't you fall down on me
          G                    D
Cause I'm all alone, you ain't coming home
          F                      C
We settle down, down, down, into bones
           G                    D
I said I'm all alone, you ain't comin home
               F                      C
We just settle down, down, down, into bones
