These are Watch Me Gone chords by Mark Knopfler on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
[Intro]
Dm Bb Dm F
F C
[Verse 1]
F C
There was a train leavin'
G
for a big beat
F
in a big life
F
Are you comin'?
I may have asked
C
you once or twice
[Chorus]
Dm
But I'd already left
Bb
the hallway with
broken lights
Dm
Some dingy landin'
F
we used to tumble from
Dm
Where the stairs were
F
cracked and worn,
whatever
Watch me go, babe,
C
watch me gone
[Verse 2]
F C
And the songs were pushin'
G F
harder all the time
F
Wasn't your fault,
C
then again it wasn't mine
Dm Bb
Broke, frustrated, and
obsessed
Dm
You saw me as ridiculous,
F
I guess
F
And I didn't know
C
from nothing
G F
Not even my own voice
But I knew there
F
was something
And I knew there
C
was no choice
[Chorus]
Dm
I was leavin',
mostly heartache
Bb
But I was in no mood
to rejoice
Dm
There was so much
F
that was wrong, whatever
Watch me go, babe,
C
watch me gone
(Watch me go, babe,
F
watch me gone)
Watch me go, babe
C
watch me gone
(Watch me go, babe,
F C
watch me gone)

Dm Bb Dm F
F C
[Verse 3]
F
Well, maybe I'll hit
C
the road with Bob
G
Or maybe hitch a
F
ride with Van
F
It's all gonna happen
C
And I'll be a happening man
Dm
And God must still be
Bb
laughing at a boy
and his plans
Dm
In the streets where
F
they were born
F C
And the hopscotch traces,
G
well, you can still see
F
'em here
F
The chalk lines faded
C
and unclear
[Chorus]
Dm Bb
Time for me to disappear
Dm F
Put my old boots back on,
whatever
Watch me go, babe,
C
watch me gone
(Watch me go, babe,
F
watch me gone)
Watch me go, babe,
C
watch me gone
(Watch me go, babe,
F
watch me gone)
Watch me go, babe,
C
watch me gone
(Watch me go, babe,
F
watch me gone)
Watch me go, babe,
C
watch me gone
(Watch me go, babe,
F
watch me gone)
