Verse:
Em  G             Em    D
Sunshine stealing stage time
         Em       D     C
From the moon and stars above
Em  G
She said leave me alone
Em G
I  said take me home
Am           C                      G
Sixteen down living in the hallowed ground

Chorus:
G                C              Am            G
Now the blue has turned to red (ahh Madeline, breathe)
G             C            Am            G
All but given up for dead (ahh Madeline, breathe)
G    C         Am                 G
Ooh, Madeline (Madeline, breathe) Madeline, breathe!

Verse:
Em    G             Em  D
Skiff rocked like a cradle
        Em             D   C
And the poor girl fell overboard
Em   G
Rope wrapped around her neck
Em      G
Tangled in her hair soaked wet
Am
They dragged the stream
    C                G
The body never to be found

Chorus:
G                C              Am            G
Now the blue has turned to red (ahh Madeline, breathe)
G             C            Am            G
All but given up for dead (ahh Madeline, breathe)
G    C         Am                 G
Ooh, Madeline (Madeline, breathe) Madeline, breathe!

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

Verse:
Em G             Em  D
My life made the headlines
            Em   D    C
Beneath the waterlily sky
Em  G
She said leave me alone
Em G
I  said take me home
Am           C                      G
Sixteen down living in the hallowed ground

Chorus:

All but given up for dead (ahh Madeline, breathe)
G    C         Am                 G
Ooh, Madeline (Madeline, breathe)

G                C              Am            G
Now the blue has turned to red (ahh Madeline, breathe)
G             C            Am            G
All but given up for dead (ahh Madeline, breathe)
