Artist - The Decemberists Album - 5 Songs Song - Apology Song Verse 1: E A B E I'm really sorry Steven Ab C# A But your bicycle's been stolen E I was watchin it for you F# A 'Til you came back in the fall F# A Guess I didn't do such a good job after all Verse 2: E A B E I was feeling really sorry Steven Ab C# A And I spent all morning grieving E And everybody's saying F# A That you'll take the news gracefully F# A Somehow I don't think I'll be getting off that easily Chorus 1: C# A I meant her no harm E Ab When I left her unlocked Outside the Orange Street Food Farm C# A I was just running in E Eb Didn't think I'd be that long C# A I came out, she was gone E Ab And all that was there was some bored old dog C# A E Leashed up to the place where your bicycle had been F# B Guess we'll never see poor Madeleine again Verse 3 (match verse 1 for chords): Let this be consolation, Steven That all the while you were in England I treated her with care and respect And have her lots of love And I was usually pretty good 'bout locking her up Chorus 2 (match chorus 2 for chords): Where has she gone? Well, I bet she's on the bottom of a Frenchtown pond Rudely abused on some hescher's joyride So I wrote you this song In the hopes that you'd forgive me Even though it was wrong Being so careless with a thing so great And taking your poor Madeleine away, away Tabbed by Noah Ronneberg on June 19th, 2005.
