Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
  :  x22100 (or maybe
  :  x22130)
 (Note: be sure to strum the 6th string to keep the distinctive
 droning C note going.)
   and
   (hammering onto the 4th string at the 2nd fret)
 You  must leave now, take what you need, you think  will last
 But  whatever you wish to keep, you better  grab  it fast
 Yonder  stands your orphan  with his gun
 Crying  like a fire  in the sun
 Look  out the saints are  coming through
 And  it's all over  now, Baby  Blue.
 The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
 Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
 The empty-handed painter from your streets
 Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
 This sky, too, is folding under you
 And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
 All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
 Your empty handed armies, they're all going home.
 The lover who just walked out your door
 Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
 The carpet, too, is moving under you
 And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
 Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
 Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
 The vagabond who's rapping at your door
 Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
 Strike another match, go start anew
 And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
