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,
A B E
Crying like a fire in the sun.
Ab A B
Look out the saints are comin' through
Ab A B E
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.

The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.
B E
Take what you have gathered from coincidence.

The empty-handed painter from your streets
A B E
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets.
Ab A B
This sky, too, is folding under you
Ab A B E
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
B E
All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home.
B E
All your reindeer armies, are all going home.
A B E
The lover who just walked out your door
A B E
Has taken all his blankets from the floor.
Ab A B
The carpet, too, is moving under you
Ab A B E
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
B E
Leave your stepping stones behind, something calls for you.
B E
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
A B E
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
A B E
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Ab A B
Strike another match, go start anew
Ab A B E
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
