Verse 1:
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
Verse 2:
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
Chorus 1:
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# A
I came out, she was gone
E Ab
And all that was there was some 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
Verse 3 (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
Chorus 2 (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
