Words & music by Paul Simon 1966
|Gm | |F |
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love,
|Gm | |D7 |
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night.
|Gm | |F |
Her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow,
|Gm |Eb |D7 |
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight.
|Bb Gm | |
But I've got to creep down the alley way,
Gm F | |
Fly down the highway,
|Gm C |Gm Eb |Gm9 | |
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone.
Bb | | |C Gm | | |
Somewhere They Can't Find Me.
|Gm | |F |
Oh baby, you don't know what I've done,
|Gm | |D7 |
I've committed a crime, I've broken the law.
|Gm | |F |
While you were here sleeping and just dreaming of me,
|Gm |Eb |D7 |
I held up and robbed a liquor store.
|Bb Gm | |
But I've got to creep down the alley way,
Gm F | |
Fly down the highway,
|Gm C |Gm Eb |Gm9 | |
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone.
Bb | | |C Gm | | |
Somewhere They Can't Find Me.
|Gm | |F |
Oh my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,
|Gm | |D7 |
A scene badly written in which I must play.
|Gm |
And though it puts me up tight to leave you,
|F |
I know it's not right to leave you,
|Gm |Eb |D7 |
When morning is just a few hours away.
|Bb Gm | |
But I've got to creep down the alley way,
Gm F | |
Fly down the highway,
|Gm C |Gm Eb |Gm9 | |
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone.
Bb | | |C Gm | | |
Somewhere They Can't Find Me.
