Phone's off the hook
F
No one knows where we are
F
It's a long time since I
C          G
Drank champagne
Am           G
The ocean is blue
    F           C
As blue as your eyes
          C            G
I'm gonna take it with me

When I go

Old long since gone

Now way back when

We lived in Coney Island

Ain't no good thing

Ever dies

I'm gonna take it with me

[Chorus 1]
C/G       Am Am/G Fmaj7
Far far away      a train
          C
Whistle blows
    C/G         Am Am/G Fmaj7
Wherever you're goin
                G
Wherever you've been
            Am Am/G Fmaj7
Waving good bye     at the end
         C
Of the day
       C/G           Am Am/G Fmaj7
You're up and you're over
                 G
And you're far away


[Verse 3]
C
Always for you, and
F
Forever yours
F                     C   G
It felt just like the old days
   Am      G      F        C
We fell asleep on Beaula's porch
          C            G
I'm gonna take it with me
       C
When I go


[Verse 4]
C
All broken down by
F
The side of the road
F                  C
I was never more alive or
  G
Alone
     Am       G
I've worn the faces off
F       C
All the cards
          C            G
I'm gonna take it with me
       C
When I go


[Chorus 2]
C/G          Am Am/G Fmaj7
Children are playing
                  C
At the end of the day
C/G           Am Am/G Fmaj7
Strangers are singing
       G
On our lawn
               Am  Am/G Fmaj7
It's got to be more
               C
Than flesh and bone
C/G              Am  Am/G Fmaj7
All that you're loved
           G
Is all you own


[Verse 5]
C
In a land there's a town
F
And in that town there's
A house
F
And in that house
          C  G
There's a woman
    Am      G
And in that woman
          F       C
There's a heart I love
          C
I'm gonna take it
     G         C
With me when I go
          C
I'm gonna take it
     G         C
With me when I go
