Shine Over Babylon Ukulele chords by Sheryl Crow

Standard tuning
Capo II


 D
I walked the heat of seven hills

 Am
Endless talk of losing wills

 Em
Great highways in a constant melt

 G
Men and women and children all have overbuilt

 D
Buying bread and paying for none

 Am
Creatures of a waning sun

 Em
Teacher’s hands are overrun

 G
Clowns and gypsies have all but gone


 G
You make me wanna

 Am    C   G
Shine over Babylon

You make me wanna
 Am    C   G
Shine over Babylon


 D
Freedoms etched on Sacred pillars

 Am
Hollow stones of mindless filler

 Em
Can lead to madman oil drillers

 G
Won’t be long before we all are killers

 D
Little boy lost way up the mountains

 Am
Cities drowning under boiling fountains

 Em
I dreamed of chilly, sunlit days

 G
I was trembling in a golden haze


 G
You make me wanna

 Am    C   G
Shine over Babylon

You make me wanna
 Am    C   G
Shine over Babylon


 D
We celebrate the golden cow

 Am
Praise the bloated bank account

 Em
If there’s a god where is he now

 G
The precipice is slipping further out

 D
Sanskrit message from the mounts

 Am
Leave your possession, hope abounds

 Em
There’s nothing here for you to cry about

 G
We’re all just followers from here on out

 D
I take the stage, I walk the planks

 Am
I sing these songs with little thanks

 Em
I wait for shouts from crazy cranks

 G
I stand amidst the brown shirt ranks

 D
I found my way to Alexandria

 Am
Where gurus bubble up on gangea

 Em
Scavengers, they run up and hand ya

 G
All the junk that should have damned ya


 G
You make me wanna

 Am    C   G
Shine over Babylon

You make me wanna
 Am    C   G
Shine over Babylon


D  Am  Em  G

 D
If everything in life was free

 Am
We'd float in your own reverie

 Em
The things that yo can't seem to see

 G
Seal the gap between you and me


 G
You make me wanna

 Am    C   G
Shine over Babylon

You make me wanna
 Am    C   G
Shine over Babylon
