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