E B C#m
Wish I was back there in New England
E B C#m
Playing in dirt behind the bar
E B C#m A
Our shouting voices intermingling with “Little Little Willy” from the car
E G#m7 A
Back on the raft down in the harbor
E G#m7 A
Trying to push each other in
E G#m7 A
Waving hi to all the fisher boys
B E
Going to deep-sea with their kin
[CHORUS]
C#m A
Better go see Elijah
F#
'cause he’s my only friend
E F#
Yeah, there’s only us two

It’s just us in the end

Better go see Elijah

Got nothing to say
