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