[VERSE]

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

E           G#m7              A   
 Back on the raft down in the harbor
E                    G#m7  A   
 Trying to push each other in
E       G#m7            A   
 Waving hi to all the fisher boys
B                                 E
 Going to deep-sea with their kin

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

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

E       B              C#m
 On the bus down to Redondo
E             B                  C#m
 We’ve got enough for single fare
E        B                C#m
 Skating back down to the condos
A
 Breathing in that dirty air
E              G#m7            A
 Well you were right to never go back
E         G#m7          A
 If I had only done the same
E         G#m7            A                 B                E
 Too many years I kept on trying to win that California game

 Playing in dirt behind the bar
E           B           C#m          A
 I hear our voices intermingling with “Little Little Willy” from the car

E       G#m7               A
 On the cliffs above the Blue Coast
E               G#m7              A
 Was that the last time we were free?
E                   G#m7       A
 And where has everybody gone to?
               B            E
 Or was it only you and me?
