Intro: Em  G  Em 

verse 1: 

Em 
Cheyenne, Wyoming 
       C                     G      
the night that the baby was born 
Em 
the mud from the backyard 
       C                     G    
now stained our living room floor 
Em             C 
We'll need 24 hours 
    G         D 
the policeman explained 
  Em             C 
these sort of things happen 
 G         D 
he's probably ok 
  Em             C 
so I sat in your room 
   G             B7        Em 
but you couldn't see me at all 

verse 2: 

Now one turned to three 
and on the fifth day a newsman came by 
they plastered your picture 
all over the news, Channel Nine 
now mother found god 
and father went bad 
neither could help it 
it's all that they had 
so I sat in your room 
but brother, you couldn't see me at all

verse 3: 

The call came quite early 
from a man about 30 miles south 
and driving to find you, 
I felt both of my lungs giving out 
they said that they found you 
with your arms in a T 
when I finally looked 
you were staring at me 
you had so much to tell 
but I couldn't hear you at all 
   C          B7           Em 
no I couldn't hear you at all
