Stay Down

Intro 
Am   G    F    Am 


[Verso 1]

Am                      G 
Down here it’s so dark 
F 
Not like in New York 
                             Am 
Where the lights are always sparkling 
                                              G 
I’ve never seen so many churches in all of my life 
F 
The people in this town 
                        Am 
They must be scared of something 


[Refrão]

Am 
Get in back and stay down 
     G                          C       F      Am 
I wouldn’t want the bullets to hit your pretty head 
               G    Am 
Baby won’t you stay down 
               G    Am 
Baby won’t you stay down 


[Verso 2]

Am                              G 
Did you see that guy in the wheelchair? 
        F                               Am 
He must sit there all day waving at the cars 
                          G 
Don’t forget before you speak 
           F 
You can’t swallow it 
                        Am 
But you can choke on your tongue 


[Refrão]

Am 
Get in back and stay down 
     G                          C       F      Am 
I wouldn’t want the bullets to hit your pretty head 
               G    Am 
Baby won’t you stay down 
               G    Am 
Baby won’t you stay down 

 
[Verso 3]

Am                                     G 
We hit the bridge just as the sun was setting 
      F                         Am 
The two of us are headed for Savannah 
                                       G 
We hit the bridge just as the sun was setting 
      F                      Am 
The two of us are headed for forever

               G    Am 
Baby won’t you stay down 
               G    Am 
Baby won’t you stay down
