Intro
A#m G# F# A#m
[Verse 1]
A#m G#
Down here it’s so dark
F#
Not like in New York
A#m
Where the lights are always sparkling
G#
I’ve never seen so many churches in all of my life
F#
The people in this town
A#m
They must be scared of something
[Chorus]
A#m
Get in back and stay down
G# C# F# A#m
I wouldn’t want the bullets to hit your pretty head
G# A#m
Baby won’t you stay down
G# A#m
Baby won’t you stay down
[Verse 2]
A#m G#
Did you see that guy in the wheelchair?
F# A#m
He must sit there all day waving at the cars
G#
Don’t forget before you speak
F#
You can’t swallow it
A#m
But you can choke on your tongue
[Chorus]
A#m
Get in back and stay down
G# C# F# A#m
I wouldn’t want the bullets to hit your pretty head
G# A#m
Baby won’t you stay down
G# A#m
Baby won’t you stay down
[Verse 3]
A#m G#
We hit the bridge just as the sun was setting
F# A#m
The two of us are headed for Savannah
G#
We hit the bridge just as the sun was setting
F# A#m
The two of us are headed for forever
[Chorus]
A#m
Get in back and stay down
G# C# F# A#m
I wouldn’t want the bullets to hit your pretty head
G# A#m
Baby won’t you stay down
G# A#m
Baby won’t you stay down
