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