Standard (EADGBE)

  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 fire in the sun.

  Look out the Saints are comin' 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 falling under you

  And it's all over now, Baby Blue

  All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home

  All your reindeer armies, are 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 stone 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 a new

  And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
