Apology Song

[E]          [A]      [B]    [E]

I'm really sorry Steven

[Ab]                          [C#]  [A]

But your bicycle's been stolen

[E]

I was watchin it for you

[F#]                        [A]

'Til you came back in the fall

    [F#]                          [A]

Guess I didn't do such a good job after all

[E]         [A]          [B]       [E]

I was feeling really sorry Steven

[Ab]                      [C#]      [A]

And I spent all morning grieving

[E]

And everybody's saying

[F#]                         [A]

That you'll take the news gracefully

[F#]                          [A]

Somehow I don't think I'll be getting off that easily

[C#]             [A]

I meant her no harm

[E]               [Ab]

When I left her unlocked Outside the Orange Street Food Farm

[C#]                 [A]

I was just running in

[E]                                 [Eb]

Didn't think I'd be that long

[C#]I came out, she was g[A]one

[E]And all that was there was som[Ab]e bored old dog

[C#]                [A]                  [E]

Leashed up to the place where your bicycle had been

[F#]                       [B]

Guess we'll never see poor Madeleine again

match verse 1 for chords):

Let this be consolation, Steven
That all the while you were in England
I treated her with care and respect
And have her lots of love
And I was usually pretty good 'bout locking her up

match chorus 2 for chords):

Where has she gone?
Well, I bet she's on the bottom of a Frenchtown pond
Rudely abused on some hescher's joyride
So I wrote you this song
In the hopes that you'd forgive me
Even though it was wrong
Being so careless with a thing so great
And taking your poor Madeleine away, away
