E MajorE
Well it all began like a new routine
                                C majorC  DbmDbm  D MajorD
We were drunk, we were tired, we were sick, we were in between
E MajorE
And the jig was up when the sun went down
                                C majorC  DbmDbm  D MajorD
It was dark, it was mean, it was black, there was not a sound

      A augmentedA
And when the morning papers did not come
  C majorC
We shook our heads, We knew that we were done
     G+G               BB
And so we sat and prayed for just another try

E MajorE             D MajorD
Throw your babies in the water
     A augmentedA               F#F#
Dah Dah Dah, Let your hair down like you used to
E MajorE             D MajorD
And tell all your sons and daughters
     A augmentedA               F#F#
Dah Dah Dah, They don't have to grow up like you
      A augmentedA
They're not supposed to

E MajorE
Now the birds don't sing and the cars won't go
                                C majorC  DbmDbm  D MajorD
There's a lump in your throat, There's no songs on the radio
    E MajorE
And the walls caved in, and the well went dry, and the mountain shook
                 C majorC  DbmDbm  D MajorD
And the people all wondered why

      A augmentedA                 C majorC
And in the morning I woke up to find there's someone here
                 G+G
There's someone in mind and so I hung my head and
       BB
And began to cry

E MajorE             D MajorD
Throw your babies in the water
     A augmentedA               F#F#
Dah Dah Dah, Let your hair down like you used to
E MajorE             D MajorD
And tell all your sons and daughters
     A augmentedA               F#F#
Dah Dah Dah, They don't have to grow up like you
      A augmentedA
They're not supposed to

BB          A augmentedA
Cradled whipped and mother's tongue
AbmAbm       DbmDbm        BB
It's not hard to see what went wrong
[only drums]
If I told you once like I done told you twice,
                               C majorC  DbmDbm  D MajorD
You can beg you can kneel you can pray, you'll be sacrificed

      A augmentedA
And when the morning papers did not come
  C majorC
We shook our heads, We knew that we were done
     G+G               BB
And so we sat and prayed for just another try


E MajorE             D MajorD
Throw your babies in the water
     A augmentedA               F#F#
Dah Dah Dah, Let your hair down like you used to
E MajorE             D MajorD
And tell all your sons and daughters
     A augmentedA               F#F#
Dah Dah Dah, They don't have to grow up like you
      A augmentedA
They're not supposed to

E MajorE             D MajorD
Throw your babies in the water
     A augmentedA               F#F#
Dah Dah Dah, Let your hair down like you used to
E MajorE             D MajorD
And tell all your sons and daughters
     A augmentedA               F#F#
Dah Dah Dah, They don't have to grow up like you
      A augmentedA         E MajorE
