      F
I can hear the wheels of automobiles

   Bb             C                            F          Bb F
So far away, just moving along through the drifting snow

     F
It's times like these when the temperatures freeze

Bb                 C                                  F
  I sit alone just looking at the world through a storm window

Bbm                            F
   Down on the beach the sandman sleeps

Bbm                            F
   Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps

Bbm                                F
   And a country band that plays for keeps

                C    C7
They play it so slow
[Chorus]
F                  Bb       C
  Don't let your baby down

F                  Bb       C
  Don't let your baby down

F                  Bb       C
  Don't let your baby down
[Interlude] F Bb F C [Verse 2]
          F
Well, the spirits were high 'til the well went dry

Bb                C                       F           Bb F
  For so long the raven at my window was only a crow

F
  I bought the rights to the inside fights

Bb                    C                          F
   Watched a man just beating his hand against a storm window

Bbm                              F
   While miles away o'er hills and streams

Bbm                       F
   A candle burns a witch's dreams

Bbm                        F
   Silence is golden 'til it screams

                   C     C7
Right through your bones
[Chorus]
F                  Bb       C
  Don't let your baby down

F                  Bb       C
  Don't let your baby down

F                  Bb       C
  Don't let your baby down
[Interlude] F Bb F [Bridge]
C              Bb                   F
Storm windows, gee well I'm getting old

C             G              C    C7
Storm windows keep away the cold

  Don't let your baby down
