Saw the swing of the hammer

Heard the crack of the ball
G C
Saw the tenement tumble
G C G-D
Saw the tenement fall

Saw the baby in the manger___

He was sleeping through it all
G C
Well, I read a story

About a man in a room

I guess he spoke his mind, but
G C G-D
I guess he spoke too soon

Well, he should've kept them guessing___

Instead of howling at the moon
G C
Shoved my hands in my pockets
G C
And I shuffled in time
G C
Took my place at the back of

The unemployment line

Standing like a statue___
G C
Deaf dumb and blind

Deaf dumb and blind
