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