Decemberists - Apology Song

the C# in the first version is A C#m so that is what is changed here , as well as
having all of the chords with the lyrics . the guy who posted the tab was
unregistered , so he can’t fix it . . . which is what i’m doing .

verse 1

E A B E
i’m really sorry steven
G# C#m 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
G# C#m 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

C#m A
i meant her no harm
E G#
when i left her unlocked outside the orange street food farm
C#m A
i was just running in
E D#
didn’t think i’d be that long
C#m A
i came out , she was gone
E G#
and all that was there was some bored old dog
C#m A E
leashed up to the place where your bicycle had been
F# B
guess we’ll never see poor madeleine again

verse 3
E A B E
let this be consolation , steven
G# C#m A
that all the while you were in england
E
i treated her with care and respect
F# A
and have her lots of love
F# A
and i was usually pretty good ’bout locking her up

chorus

C#m A
where has she gone?
E G#
well , i bet she’s on the bottom of a frenchtown pond
C#m A
rudely abused on some hescher’s joyride
E D#
so i wrote you this song
C#m A
in the hopes that you’d forgive me
E G#
even though it was wrong
C#m A E
being so careless with a thing so great
F# B
and taking your poor madeleine away , away
