[Intro]
Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
C F
Phone's off the hook, no one knows where we are
D7sus2 Gsus4 G
It's a long time since I drank champagne
Am G F C
The ocean is blue, as blue as your eyes
C G C
I'm gonna take it with me when I go
[Verse 2]
C F
Old, long since gone; now, way back when
D7sus2 Gsus4 G
We lived in Coney Island
Am G F C
Ain't no good thing ever dies
C G C
I'm gonna take it with me when I go
[Chorus 1]
Am Am/G Fmaj7 C
Far, far away, a train whistle blows
Am Am/G D/F# Gsus4 G
Wherever you're goin, wherever you've been
Am Am/G Fmaj7 C
Waving goodbye at the end of the day
Am Am/G D/F# Gsus4 G7
You're up and you're over and you're far away
[Verse 3]
C F
Always for you and forever yours
Gsus4 G
It felt just like the old days
Am G F C
We fell asleep on Beaula's porch
C G C
I'm gonna take it with me when I go
[Verse 4]
C F
All broken down by the side of the road
Gsus4 G
I was never more alive or alone
Am G F C
I've worn the faces off all the cards
C G C
I'm gonna take it with me when I go
[Chorus 2]
Am Am/G Fmaj7 C
Children are playing at the end of the day
Am Am/G D/F# G Gsus4
Strangers are singing on our lawn
Am Am/G D/F# C
It's got to be more than flesh and bone
Am Am/G D/F# Gsus4 G7sus4 G7
All that you're loved is all you own
[Verse 5]
C F
In a land, there's a town and in that town, there's a house
Gsus4 G
And in that house, there's a woman
Am G F C
And in that woman, there's a heart I love
C G C
I'm gonna take it with me when I go
[Outro]
C G C Fmaj7 C
I'm gonna take it with me when I go

Fantastic tab, though a few suggestions,
..C............................F
Phones off the hook, No one knows where we are
..........................Am........G
It's a long time since I drank champagne
Also, the, Am, Am/G Fmaj7 G line, played as Am Fmaj7 Gm?
Now just some way to get down to those low notes??
Top tab!
