In a river [E] of the color [Bm] of lead
He [F#m] excavated his [Bm] [F#m] head
Wrapped her up in the [E] news of the [Bm] world
[F#m]
Dumbed her on a [Bm] doorstep, [F#m] girl
[G] [A]
Then he [Bm] [Em] snatched
And he opened [Bm] my eyes
And [A] I will never sleep again
[G#] You keep him [F#m] quiet like [E] a bullet's eye
[Bm] [F#m] A grown man of [G] twenty-five
[A]

[F#m] But he didn't, and [Bm] he never will
[F#m] [Bm] [A]
Oh, oh, [Em] oh, [G] oh
Save [Bm] your life
Because [A] you've only got one
[G] The dream [D] has gone, but the baby [A] is still
[G]
Oh, you did a good [Bm] [G] thing
[A] She could have [Bm] been a [F#m] poet
Thought she could have been a fool
[G] Oh, you did a [Em] bad thing
[G] And [A]
I'm [Em] not happy, [G] and I'm not [F#m] sad
[A] [B] A [F#] sheep's child on a [Bm] swing
[E] [Bm] [F#m] Reminds you of your own again
[Bm] [A] She took away [Bm] your troubles
Oh, but then again
[F#m] She left [Bm] pain
[F#m]
[Bm] [A] Oh, oh, [G] oh, oh
[Bm] Save your life
[E] Because you've only got [A] one
[D] The dream has gone, but the baby is still
