| E | A | B | E |
| I'm really sorry Steven |
| Ab | C# | A |
| But your bicycle's been stolen |
| E |
| I was watchin it for you |
| F# | A |
| 'Til you came back in the fall |
| F# | A |
| Guess I didn't do such a good job after all |
| Verse 2: |
| E | A | B | E |
| I was feeling really sorry Steven |
| Ab | C# | A |
| And I spent all morning grieving |
| E |
| And everybody's saying |
| F# | A |
| That you'll take the news gracefully |
| F# | A |
| Somehow I don't think I'll be getting off that easily |
| Chorus 1: |
| C# | A |
| I meant her no harm |
| E | Ab |
| When I left her unlocked Outside the Orange Street Food Farm |
| C# | A |
| I was just running in |
| E | Eb |
| Didn't think I'd be that long |
| C# | A | |
| I came out, she was g | one |
| E | Ab | |
| And all that was there was som | e bored old dog |
| C# | A | E |
| Leashed up to the place where your bicycle had been |
| F# | B |
| Guess we'll never see poor Madeleine again |
| Verse 3 (match verse 1 for chords): |
| Let this be consolation, Steven |
| That all the while you were in England |
| I treated her with care and respect |
| And have her lots of love |
| And I was usually pretty good 'bout locking her up |
| Chorus 2 (match chorus 2 for chords): |
| Where has she gone? |
| Well, I bet she's on the bottom of a Frenchtown pond |
| Rudely abused on some hescher's joyride |
| So I wrote you this song |
| In the hopes that you'd forgive me |
| Even though it was wrong |
| Being so careless with a thing so great |
| And taking your poor Madeleine away, away |
