Verse:
C#m  E             C#m    B
Sunshine stealing stage time
         C#m       B     A
From the moon and stars above
C#m  E
She said leave me alone
C#m E
I  said take me home
F#m           A                      E
Sixteen down living in the hallowed ground

Chorus:
E                A              F#m            E
Now the blue has turned to red (ahh Madeline, breathe)
E             A            F#m            E
All but given up for dead (ahh Madeline, breathe)
E    A         F#m                 E
Ooh, Madeline (Madeline, breathe) Madeline, breathe!

Verse:
C#m    E             C#m  B
Skiff rocked like a cradle
        C#m             B   A
And the poor girl fell overboard
C#m   E
Rope wrapped around her neck
C#m      E
Tangled in her hair soaked wet
F#m
They dragged the stream
    A                E
The body never to be found

Chorus:
E                A              F#m            E
Now the blue has turned to red (ahh Madeline, breathe)
E             A            F#m            E
All but given up for dead (ahh Madeline, breathe)
E    A         F#m                 E
Ooh, Madeline (Madeline, breathe) Madeline, breathe!

Bridge:
D#
The dirt in the stream
D#
The body never to be found
D#                    F#
Except for footprints caked
       D#                            E
In the muddy ground beside where she lay

Verse:
C#m E             C#m  B
My life made the headlines
            C#m   B    A
Beneath the waterlily sky
C#m  E
She said leave me alone
C#m E
I  said take me home
F#m           A                      E
Sixteen down living in the hallowed ground

Chorus:

Now the blue has turned to red (ahh Madeline, breathe)
E             A            F#m            E
All but given up for dead (ahh Madeline, breathe)
E    A         F#m                 E
Ooh, Madeline (Madeline, breathe)

E                A              F#m            E
Now the blue has turned to red (ahh Madeline, breathe)
E             A            F#m            E
All but given up for dead (ahh Madeline, breathe)
E    A         F#m                 E
Ooh, Madeline (Madeline, breathe) Madeline, breathe!
