VERSE 1

[ch]E5/C[/ch]  Cadd9 Cadd9    
On the lam 
          Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]
From the law
             Cadd9 Cadd9
On the steps of 
     Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]
The capital
           Cadd9 Cadd9
You shot a plainclothes 
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Cop on the 
Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch] 
Ten               o'         clock

Esus4  Am      Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4  
And I saw momentarily
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4              [ch]E5/C[/ch]
They flashed a photograph, It couldn't be you

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*

Esus4  Am      Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
You'd been abused so horribly
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4         (E5/C
But you were there in some anonymous room

And I recall that 
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]
Fall
       Cadd9 Cadd9
I was working for the 
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]
Government
         Cadd9 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And in a bathroom     stall 
  Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]
Off the national mall

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7 Am Esus4 Dsus2

Esus4  Am      Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
How we kissed so sweetly
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4    [ch]E5/C[/ch]
How could I refuse a favor or two

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*

Esus4  Am      Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
And for a tryst in the greenery
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4       (E5/C
I gave you documents and microfilm too

CHORUS
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/decemberists/344251.html ]
G
And from my ten floor tenement
                      Am
Where once our bodies lay
                         C
How I longed to hear you say
Cm                         G
"No they'll never catch me now
Cm
No they'll never catch me
Am                      F
No they cannot catch me now
   E               F
We will escape somehow
Fm
Somehow, oh"

VERSE 3

[ch]E5/C[/ch]  Cadd9 Cadd9
It was late 
       Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]
One night
[ch]E5/C[/ch]  Cadd9 Cadd9
I was awoken by the 
       Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]
Telephone
           Cadd9 Cadd9                                         
I heard a strangled     
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]
Cry           on the     end of the       line

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7 Am Esus4 Dsus2

Esus4  Am      Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
Purloined in Petrograd
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4                  [ch]E5/C[/ch]
They were suspicious of where your loyalties lay

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*

Esus4  Am      Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
So I paid off a bureaucrat
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4                  (E5/C
To convince your captors there to secret you away

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*)x2

CHORUS

G
And at the gate of the embassy
                          Am
Our hands met through the bars
                           C
As your whisper stilled my heart
Cm                         G
"No they'll never catch me now
Cm
No they'll never catch me
Am                      F
No they cannot catch me now
   E               F
We will escape somehow
Fm
Somehow, oh"

BRIDGE

C B C B G

G
And I dreamt one night
                  F#
You were there in form
      G
Hands held high
      F#
In uniform
G
Oh
F#
Oh

OUTRO

[ch]E5/C[/ch]  Cadd9 Cadd9    
It was ten 
       Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]
Years on
[ch]E5/C[/ch]  Cadd9 Cadd9
When you resurfaced 
       Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]
In a motorcar
         Cadd9 Cadd9  Cmaj7 Cmaj7                 
And with the wave of an arm 
Cmaj7* Cmaj7* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* [ch]E5/C[/ch]* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*
You were       there        and gone
