    (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 gone
