G                    F                       C
you must leave now  take what you need you think will last
        G                 F                C
but whatever you wish to keep you better grab it fast
Dm                 F               C
yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Dm             F           C
crying like a fire in the sun
Fmaj          F                   G
look out the saints are coming through
    Dm             F         C
and it's all over now baby blue
