Midnight Getaway
Jerry Garcia
Intro: -->(single notes) - f - a - c - e --> Am

Am            E
I heard you round about midnight
  G       F
Slipping out of the bed
  C    G       F
You thought that I was fast asleep

C                G
Heard your slippers in the midnight hallway
E7           Am
And I heard you rustling around
C    G       F
Trying not to make a sound

Am            E
Heard the tap of your high heels
G               F
And the click of the lock on the door
C    G            F
Baby, I hope you know what you're doing

 C           G
Heard you walking down the stairs
E7          Am
And I counted them one by one
C    G        F
One for each year that flew by

Am              E
Heard you stop and turn back once
G              F
Then I thought that I heard you sigh
C    G       F
Or maybe it was the breeze

C           G
Heard the jingle of your keys
E7             Am
Then you stumbled and cursed the cat
 C         G          F
That was sleeping on the stairs under the stars

Am
Heard you open the car door softly
Em
You must have been there half an hour
Dm               Am
   Turning it all round in your head

Were you sitting there waiting
         Em
For me to come down and call your name?
Dm                Am
   I wonder, were you waiting for me
     Dm        Em        Dm  F G
Waiting for me, waiting for me, waiting for me


Am            E
Then I heard the motor turn over
G            F
And I heard you driving away
C    G       F
Way before the break of day

C                G
Heard your engine for a long, long time
E7                Am
'Cause the night was so cold and quiet
C     G           F
As you made your getaway in the night

Am   E   G    C  G  F

C  G  E7  Am
