Midnight Getaway
Jerry Garcia
Intro: -->(single notes) - f - a - c - e --> A minorAm

A minorAm            E MajorE
I heard you round about midnight
  G+G       FF
Slipping out of the bed
  C majorC    G+G       FF
You thought that I was fast asleep

C majorC                G+G
Heard your slippers in the midnight hallway
E7E7           A minorAm
And I heard you rustling around
C majorC    G+G       FF
Trying not to make a sound

A minorAm            E MajorE
Heard the tap of your high heels
G+G               FF
And the click of the lock on the door
C majorC    G+G            FF
Baby, I hope you know what you're doing

 C majorC           G+G
Heard you walking down the stairs
E7E7          A minorAm
And I counted them one by one
C majorC    G+G        FF
One for each year that flew by

A minorAm              E MajorE
Heard you stop and turn back once
G+G              FF
Then I thought that I heard you sigh
C majorC    G+G       FF
Or maybe it was the breeze

C majorC           G+G
Heard the jingle of your keys
E7E7             A minorAm
Then you stumbled and cursed the cat
 C majorC         G+G          FF
That was sleeping on the stairs under the stars

A minorAm
Heard you open the car door softly
E minorEm
You must have been there half an hour
DmDm               A minorAm
   Turning it all round in your head

Were you sitting there waiting
         E minorEm
For me to come down and call your name?
DmDm                A minorAm
   I wonder, were you waiting for me
     DmDm        E minorEm        DmDm  FF G+G
Waiting for me, waiting for me, waiting for me


A minorAm            E MajorE
Then I heard the motor turn over
G+G            FF
And I heard you driving away
C majorC    G+G       FF
Way before the break of day

C majorC                G+G
Heard your engine for a long, long time
E7E7                A minorAm
'Cause the night was so cold and quiet
C majorC     G+G           FF
As you made your getaway in the night

A minorAm   E MajorE   G+G    C majorC  G+G  FF

C majorC  G+G  E7E7  A minorAm
