Intro
Em D C Em
[Verse 1]
Em D
Down here it’s so dark
C
Not like in New York
Em
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
Em
They must be scared of something
[Chorus]
Em
Get in back and stay down
D G C Em
I wouldn’t want the bullets to hit your pretty head
D Em
Baby won’t you stay down
D Em
Baby won’t you stay down
[Verse 2]
Em D
Did you see that guy in the wheelchair?
C Em
He must sit there all day waving at the cars
D
Don’t forget before you speak
C
You can’t swallow it
Em
But you can choke on your tongue
[Chorus]
Em
Get in back and stay down
D G C Em
I wouldn’t want the bullets to hit your pretty head
D Em
Baby won’t you stay down
D Em
Baby won’t you stay down
[Verse 3]
Em D
We hit the bridge just as the sun was setting
C Em
The two of us are headed for Savannah
D
We hit the bridge just as the sun was setting
C Em
The two of us are headed for forever
[Chorus]
Em
Get in back and stay down
D G C Em
I wouldn’t want the bullets to hit your pretty head
D Em
Baby won’t you stay down
D Em
Baby won’t you stay down
