[Intro]
G C D G
G C D G
[Verse 1]
G C bombs are dropping, smoke fills the air D G i wanna duck and cover but i've gotta stay out here G C 'cause i know myself and if i hole up in my room D i'll be consumed by the doom and the gloom G C so i called john 'cause i know he knows sorrow D G he said "i'll be in the city tomorrow" G C so i go down and i watch him sing D and the way he sings sends a chill right through me, yeah G C and now there's a mountain goat D G precariously balanced on the frog stuck in my throat G C it says "sometimes whispering's okay, D but maybe you'd feel better if you screamed today"
[Chorus]
G the lady took the baby C i know she loves the baby D but the baby has a daddy G and his daddy loves him too G 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 lady took the baby C i know she loves the baby D but the baby has a daddy G and his daddy loves him too G 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 2]
G C tuesday night grandma curled up in my bed D G by wednesday morning my grandma was dead G C i was in charlotte, i took the bus home D her shoes, watch, and teeth were still in my room G C D G and as i lay me down to sleep i felt her spirit rise up through me G C D she said "i got to live a long eighty six years, dry your tears. G C D G i know it's hard but please let go so i can meet your grandpa in the undertow G C D chin up girl, you've got to be strong, and know when you're singing i'm singing along"

[Outro]
G C little bitty baby so far away D G we hope that you can come home soon G C when we're not together, now or ever D G always remember i love you G C little bitty baby so far away D G we hope that you can come home soon G C when we're not together, now or ever D G always remember i love you
