[D][G]

[Verse 1]
Bombs are dropping, [C]smoke
fills the air
I [D]wanna duck and cover but I've
[G]gotta stay out here
'Cause I know myself and if
I hole [C]up in my room
I'll be con[D]sumed by
the doom and the gloom

[Verse 2]
[G]So I call John cause I [C]know
he knows sorrow
[D]He says "I'll be in the [G]city tomorrow"
So I go down and [C]I watch him sing
And the way he [D]sings sends
a chill right through me

[Verse 3]
[G]Yeah, and now there's a mountain [C]goat
Pre[D]cariously balanced on the
[G]frog stuck in my throat
It says [C]"Sometimes whispering's ok
But [D]maybe you'd feel better
if you screamed today"

[Verse 4]
The [G]lady took the baby I [C]know
she loves the baby
But the [D]baby has a daddy and
and his [G]daddy loves him, too
How could she take the baby,
[C]maybe she's gone crazy
[D]She won't share, it's not fair,
there's nothing I can do

[Verse 5]
The [G]lady took the baby I [C]know
she loves the baby
But the [D]baby has a daddy and and
his [G]daddy loves him, too
How could she take the baby,
[C]maybe she's gone crazy
[D]She won't share, it's not fair,

[Verse 6]
there's nothing I can do
[G]Tuesday night grandma
[C]curled up in my bed
[D]By Wednesday morning,
my [G]grandma was dead
I was in Charlotte, I [C]took the bus home
Her [D]shoes, watch and teeth
were still in my room
[G]And

[Verse 7]
as I lay me down [C]to sleep,
[D]I felt her spirit r[G]ise up through me
She said "I got to live [C]a long 86 years,
dry [D]your [G]tears
I know it's hard but [C]please let go so [D]I can
meet your grandpa in the [G]undertow
Chin up, girl, you've [C]gotta be strong [D]and know
when you're singing I'm singing along"

[Verse 8]
The [G]lady took the baby I
[C]know she loves the baby
But the [D]baby has a daddy and and
his [G]daddy loves him, too
How could she take the baby,
[C]maybe she's gone crazy
[D]She won't share, it's not fair,
there's nothing I can do
[G]The

[Verse 9]
lady took the baby I [C]know
she loves the baby
But the [D]baby has a daddy and and
his [G]daddy loves him, too
How could she take the baby,
[C]maybe she's gone crazy
[D]She won't share, it's not fair,

[Verse 10]
there's nothing I can do
[G]Little bitty baby, [C]so far away,
[D]we hope that you can [G]come home soon
When we're not together, [C]now [Am]or ever,
[D]always remem[G]ber I love you
Little bitty baby, [C]so far [Am]away,
we [D]hope that you can come [G]home soon
When we're not together, [C]now or [Am]ever,
[D]always remember [G]I love you
