Frank Black – Elijah chords

[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

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
