Elena Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

[INTRO]
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]

[VERSE 1]
Elena is [C]working on [G]Lorimer [Dm]Street
Directing the [C]traffic in the [G]sweltering [Dm]heat
She [F]winds through the [C]motions, a [F]tape on re[A7]peat
She's [Dm]there until [C]moonlight, [G]making ends [Dm]meet [C] [G] [Dm]

[VERSE 2]
Two kids in [C]school, a[G]nother dropped [Dm]out
All drawn to [C]darkness, [G]futures in [Dm]doubt
[F]Mama's heart [C]beating on [F]their wherea[A7]bouts
And [Dm]how they'll find [C]water in the [G]merciless [Dm]drought [D7]

[CHORUS]
And she prays to [Gm]you [C]
Your boundless [F]light [Bb]
That one day you'll [A7]come to make things [Dm]right [D7]
Sprinkling skies of [Gm]falling stars [C]
Where she dreams of [F]flying [Bb]
Another day's gone [A7]by

[VERSE 3]
[Dm]Quietly [C]humming a [G]spiritual [Dm]song
The lilt of each [C]melody [G]keeping her [Dm]strong
Where [F]all dreams are [C]possible, [F]all doubt is [A7]gone
[Dm]Where instead of [C]darkness she [G]sees only [Dm]dawn [D7]

[CHORUS]
And she prays for [Gm]you [C]
Every waking [F]night [Bb]
To dance the [A7]breezes as a [Dm]kite [D7]
The endless seas sur[Gm]round her now [C]
And she drifts a[F]way [Bb]
How she'd love to [A7]stay

[VERSE 4]
E[Dm]lena is [C]working on [G]Lorimer [Dm]Street
The pavement be[C]neath her a[G]busing her [Dm]feet
She [F]winds through the [C]motions, a [F]tape on re[A7]peat
She's [Dm]there until [C]moonlight, [G]making ends [Dm]meet
She [F]winds through the [C]motions, a [F]tape on re[A7]peat
She's [Dm]there until [C]moonlight, [G]making ends [Dm]meet [C] [G] [Dm]
