Verse 1:
G D
I was wasted in the afternoon
F C
Waiting on a train
G D
I woke up in pieces and Elisabeth
F C
Had disappeared again
G D
I wish you were inside of me
F C
I hope that you're okay
G D
I hope you're resting quietly
F C
I just wanted to say
Chorus 1:
G D
Good, goodnight Elisabeth
F C
Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight
(repeat)
Verse 2: (same chords)
We couldn't all be cowboys
So some of us are clowns
Some of us are dancers on the midway
We roam from town to town
I hope that everybody can find a little flame
Me, I say my prayers, then I just light myself on fire
And I walk out on the wire once again
And I say
Chorus 2: (same chords)
Good, goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight
Solo: (Note: I'm not sure if the soloing guitar is actually capoed, but it
doesn't really matter. Notes posted here are again relative to the capo
so in actuality everything is up two frets)

Verse 3: (same chords)
I will wait for you in baton rouge
Ill miss you down in new orleans
Ill wait for you while she slips in something comfortable
And Ill miss you when Im slipping in between
If you wrap yourself in daffodils
I will wrap myself in pain
And if youre the queen of california
Baby I am the king of the rain
And I say
Chorus 3: (same chords)
Good, goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth, goodnight
Good, goodnight Elisabeth
The moon's a satellite, yeah
Won't you fall down on me now
Won't you fall down on me
Come, come, come fall down
On me now
Won't you fall down on me
I'm all alone
And you ain't comin' home
We just settle down, down, down into bone
I said I'm all alone
And you ain't comin' home
We just settle down, down, down into bone
