Elijah chords by Frank Black

[VERSE]

C#m
 Wish I was back there in New England
C#m
 Playing in dirt behind the bar
A
 Our shouting voices intermingling with “Little Little Willy” from the car

A
 Back on the raft down in the harbor
A
 Trying to push each other in
A
 Waving hi to all the fisher boys
E

 Going to deep-sea with their kin

[CHORUS]
            A
     Better go see Elijah
                         F#
     'cause he’s my only friend
                   F#
     Yeah, there’s only us two
               E
     It’s just us in the end
            A
     Better go see Elijah
                    F#
     Got nothing to say
                     A
     But I know that’s okay

[BRIDGE]*
B
  Go see him now,
B/A
  Go see him now
G#
  Go see him now
E
 What’s that you say?

C#m
 On the bus down to Redondo
C#m
 We’ve got enough for single fare
C#m
 Skating back down to the condos
A
 Breathing in that dirty air
A
 Well you were right to never go back
A
 If I had only done the same
E
 Too many years I kept on trying to win that California game

C#m
 Wish I was back there in New England
C#m
 Playing in dirt behind the bar
A
 I hear our voices intermingling with “Little Little Willy” from the car

A
 On the cliffs above the Blue Coast
A
 Was that the last time we were free?
A
 And where has everybody gone to?
               E
 Or was it only you and me?


[END CHORUS]
            A
     Better go see Elijah
                         F#

                   F#

     I got something to say
