[Verse 1]

G                                                       C                       G
Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world
Am                                       Em
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
         Am                                     D
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
          Am                                             D
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
           C                                             Em
Oh elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze
    Am              D           Em
A trail for the devil to erase

[Verse 2]

G                                             C                              G
San Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
Am                                                Em
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
      Am                                            D
We hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay
      Am                                           D
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
                 C                                             Em
About the saddest book you ever read, it always makes you cry
        Am                 D                       Em
The statue’s crying too and well he may

[Verse 3]

   G                                               C                   G
I love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face
   Am                               Em
I love you my responsibility has found a place
    Am                                                  D
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
          Am                                        D
Come wave upon me from the family wider net absurd
                    C                                           Em
“You’ll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job”
Am              D                      Em
Maybe, but not what she deserves

[Verse 4]

G                                                       C                       G
Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake
         Am                                        Em
We’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
    Am                                       D
A privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style
         Am                                             D
We’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by
            C                                                Em
And at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate
       Am                         D                   Em
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare

[Verse 5]

       G                                      C                   G
The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
       Am                                         Em
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
       Am                                      D
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
      Am                                                        D
He knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for
A doorway
           C                                               Em
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
Am                    D                   Em
Life outside the diamond is a wrench

[Verse 6]

   G                                                    C                  G
I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
   Am                                                Em
I know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend
    Am                                              D
A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
           Am                                  D
You’d settle for an epitaph like “Walk Away, Renee”
                 C                                             Em
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like
A flower

Am                     D                Em
Meet you at the statue in an hour
Am                      D               Em
Meet you at the statue in an hour
