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