Ophelia Lyrics

Artist: The Band
Album: Northern Lights-Southern Cross

C
Boards on the window
E7
Mail by the door
A7 D7
What would anybody leave so quickly for?
F
Ophelia
G7 C A7 D7 G7
Where have you gone?

The old neighborhood just ain't the same
Nobody knows just what became of
Ophelia
Tell me, what went wrong

F C
Was it somethin' that somebody said?
G7 C
Mama, I know we broke the rules
F C
Was somebody up against the law?
G7 G7+5
Honey, you know I'd die for you

C
Ashes of laughter
E7
The ghost is clear
A7 D7
Why do the best things always disappear
F
Like Ophelia
G7 C A7 D7 G7
Please darken my door

Was it somethin' that somebody said?
Honey, you know we broke the rules
Wu somebody up against the law?
Honey, you know I'd die for you

They got your number
Scared and runnin'
But I'm still waitin' for the second comin'
Of Ophelia
Come back home
