Babies Falling Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Whe[G]re the workers stand [C]in querulous
rows await[G]ing dislo[A]cation
I will be [G]there too
When you're [C]cashing in
your food stamps
When you're sleeping [G]in a cattle [C]train
I'll [G]be

[Verse 2]
with you
Pushing [C]up against the ticket counter window
face against the [G]glass
Bleeding from [Dm]the [C]waist an[A]
d kissing [C]to be chaste[G]
It is [C]said that those who will not
rest have been cursed
To tramp like soldiers through the [G]marshes

[Verse 3]
Or that blessed are the [C]ones who
leave the stage
Like babies falling fast [G]asleep
So I [C]twice am cursed and twice
am stuck
Affixed to [A]this corner [C]of the [G]earth.

[Verse 4]
[A]That old river keeps on rolling
but the old man doesn't see it,
He just stands [G]there with his [A]eyes closed
[G]Asking "Where'd you go?[A]" "Wh[C]ere[G]'d you go?"
[D][G][C][A][G]
[D][G][C][A][G]

[Verse 5]
So wherever [C]you may sleep tonight,
Be it bed or bedrock,
[G]home, or open field:
When you begin to [C]yield,
[G]then, whatever you[C] have taken as your pillow,
May it serve as [G]mine as well.
[D]Under[A]neath the weeping

[Verse 6]
willow
[C]I w[A]ill wait for you forever,
My eye[G]s forever closed,
asking [C]"Where'd you [A]go?" [C]"Where'd you go?"
[G][C][A][G][C]
