(Intro) F#
F# B F#
Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll sail around the world
G#m D#m
I will be your Ferdinand and you my wayward girl
G#m C#
How many nights of talking in hotel rooms can you take?
G#m C#
How many nights of limping round on pagan holidays?
B D#m
Oh, elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze
G#m C# D#m
A trail for the devil to erase
F# B F#
San Francisco’s calling us, the Giants and Mets will play
G#m D#m
Piazza, New York catcher, are you straight or are you gay?
G#m C#
We hung about the stadium, we’ve got no place to stay
G#m C#
We hung about the tenderloin and tenderly you tell
B
About the saddest book you've ever read
D#m
That always makes you cry
G#m C# D#m
The statue’s crying too and well he may
F# B F#
I love you I’ve a drowning grip on your adoring face
G#m D#m
I love you, my responsibility has found a place
G#m C#
Beside you and strong warnings in the guise of gentle words
G#m C#
Come wave upon me from the family wider net absurd
B D#m
(You'll take care of her, I know it, you will do a better job"
G#m C# D#m
Maybe, but not what she deserves

F# B F#
Elope with me Miss Private and we’ll drink ourselves awake
G#m D#m
We’ll taste the coffee houses and award certificates
G#m C#
a privy seal to keep the feel of 1960 style
G#m C#
We’ll comment on the decor and we’ll help the passer by
B D#m
And at dusk when work is over we’ll continue the debate
G#m C# D#m
In a borrowed bedroom virginal and spare
F# B F#
The catcher hits for .318 and catches every day
G#m D#m
The pitcher puts religion first and rests on holidays
G#m C#
He goes into cathedrals and lies prostrate on the floor
G#m C#
He knows the drink affects his speed he’s praying for
a doorway
B D#m
Back into the life he wants and the confession of the bench
G#m C# D#m
Life outside the diamond is a wrench
F# B F#
I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend
G#m D#m
I know it wouldn’t come to love, my heroine pretend
G#m C#
A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day
G#m C#
You’d settle for an epitaph like (Walk Away, Renee"
B D#m
The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like
a flower
G#m C# D#m
Meet you at the statue in an hour
G#m C# D#m
Meet you at the statue in an hour
