(Intro:)

I I

I

On the lam from the law

I

On the steps of the capital

I I

You shot a plainclothes cop on the ten o'clock

II

And I saw momentarily

II I

They flashed a photograph, it couldn't be you

II

You'd been abused so horribly

II I I

But you were there in some anonymous room

I

And I recall that fall

I

I was working for the government

I I

And in a bathroom stall off the national mall

II

How we kissed so sweetly

II I

How could I refuse a favor or two

II

And for a tryst in the greenery

II I I

I gave you documents and microfilm too

G

And from my ten floor tenement

Am

Where once our bodies lay

C

How I longed to hear you say

Cm G

"No they'll never catch me now

Cm

No they'll never catch me

Am F

No they cannot catch me now

E F

We will escape somehow

Fm

Somehow, oh"

I I

I

It was late one night

I

I was awoken by the telephone

I I

I heard a strangled cry on the end of the line

II

Purloined in Petrograd

II I

They were suspicious of where your loyalties lay

II

So I paid off a bureaucrat

II I I

To convince your captors there to secret you away

G

And at the gate of the embassy

Am

Our hands met through the bars

C

As your whisper stilled my heart

Cm G

"No they'll never catch me now

Cm

No they'll never catch me

Am F

No they cannot catch me now

E F

We will escape somehow

Fm

Somehow, oh"

(Interlude:)

C B C B G

G

And I dreamt one night

F#

You were there in form

G

Hands held high

F#

In uniform

G

Oh

F#

Oh

I I

I

It was ten years on

I

When you resurfaced in a motorcar

I C

And with the wave of an arm you were there and goneAdded by tabs-database.com and our distinguished partners
