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