[Intro]
G C D G
G C D G

[Verse 1]
G C
bombs are dropping, smoke fills the air
D G
i wanna duck and cover but i've gotta stay out here
G C
'cause i know myself and if i hole up in my room
D
i'll be consumed by the doom and the gloom

G C
so i called john 'cause i know he knows sorrow
D G
he said "i'll be in the city tomorrow"
G C
so i go down and i watch him sing
D
and the way he sings sends a chill right through me, yeah

G C
and now there's a mountain goat
D G
precariously balanced on the frog stuck in my throat
G C
it says "sometimes whispering's okay,
D
but maybe you'd feel better if you screamed today"

[Chorus]
G
the lady took the baby
C
i know she loves the baby
D
but the baby has a daddy
G
and his daddy loves him too
G
how could she take the baby?
C
maybe she's gone crazy
D
she won't share
it's not fair
there's nothing i can do
G
the lady took the baby
C
i know she loves the baby
D
but the baby has a daddy
G
and his daddy loves him too
G
how could she take the baby?
C
maybe she's gone crazy
D
she won't share
it's not fair
there's nothing i can do

[Verse 2]
G C
tuesday night grandma curled up in my bed
D G
by wednesday morning my grandma was dead
G C
i was in charlotte, i took the bus home
D
her shoes, watch, and teeth were still in my room

G C D G
and as i lay me down to sleep i felt her spirit rise up through me
G C D
she said "i got to live a long eighty six years, dry your tears.
G C D G
i know it's hard but please let go so i can meet your grandpa in the undertow
G C D
chin up girl, you've got to be strong, and know when you're singing i'm singing along"

[Chourus]
G
the lady took the baby
C
i know she loves the baby
D
but the baby has a daddy
G
and his daddy loves him too
G
how could she take the baby?
C
maybe she's gone crazy
D
she won't share
it's not fair
there's nothing i can do
G
the lady took the baby
C
i know she loves the baby
D
but the baby has a daddy
G
and his daddy loves him too
G
how could she take the baby?
C
maybe she's gone crazy
D
she won't share
it's not fair
there's nothing i can do

[Outro]
G C
little bitty baby so far away
D G
we hope that you can come home soon
G C
when we're not together, now or ever
D G
always remember i love you

G C
little bitty baby so far away
D G
we hope that you can come home soon
G C
when we're not together, now or ever
D G
always remember i love you
