In a [Bm] river of the color of lead
[C#m] [Bm] You [F#m] brush the baby's [G] head
[A] Wrap [F#] her up in the news of the [Bm] world
[F#m] Dump her on a [Bm] doorstep and [F#m] go
[Bm] [A]
[G] It's night
Eyes [Bm] open, my eyes
And [A] I will never sleep again
[D] You [C#m] keep him quiet [F#] like a bunny child

[Bm] [A] [G]
Oh, save your [Bm] life
Because [A] you've only got one

[G] Oh, you did a [E] good thing
[Em] [Bm] [G] [F#m] She could have [Bm] been a [F#m] poet or she could have been a soul
[G] Oh, [Em] you did a bad thing
[Bm] [G] [A] And I'm [Em] not [G] happy and I'm not [F#m] sad
[A] But
[F#] she's just child in a [Bm] swing
[C#m] [Bm] [F#m] Reminds you of your own [Bm] again
[A] She took [Bm] away your troubles
Oh, but then [F#m] again she left [Bm] [F#m] pain
[Bm]
[A] Oh, [G]
save [Bm] your life
[E] Because you've only [A] got one
[Bm] The dream [D] I'd gone with the baby [A] is real
[G] Oh, you did [A] a good [Em] thing
[Bm] She [G] [A]
could have [G] been a [F#m] poet or she could have been a fool
