Verse 1:
          Am      Gadd9       Am Gadd9
In a river  the color  of lead
  Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Immerse the  baby's head
Fmaj7 G               Am       Gadd9         Am
       Wrap her up in the News Of   The World
         Gadd9            Fmaj7 Cmaj7
Dump her on   a doorstep, girl

Pre-chorus:
Fmaj7 G     Am                      Amadd9 Am
       This night has opened my eyes
          Gadd9      G
And I will     never sleep again

Verse 2:
    Am              Gadd9               Am   Gadd9
You kicked and cried     like a bullied child
Fmaj7 Cmaj7                     Fmaj7 G
           a grown man of twentyfive
           Am     Gadd9         Am
Oh, he said  he'd cure your ills
       Gadd9               Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 G
But he didn't and he never will

Pre-chorus:
Am            Amadd9 Am
Oh, save your life 
                    Gadd9   G
Because you've only got  one

Chorus:
    Fmaj7
The dream has gone
Cmaj7
But  the baby is real
G F
  Oh, you did a good thing
Dm F G               Fmaj7      Cmaj7
      She could have been a poet
Or, she could have been a fool
G F
  Oh, you did a bad thing
Dm F G           Dm
     And I'm not happy
               F G
And I'm not sad

Verse 3:
  Am            Gadd9          Am Gadd9
a shoeless child     on a swing
  Fmaj7        Cmaj7
Reminds you of your own again
Fmaj7 G                          Am
      She took away your troubles
        Gadd9     Am
Oh, but then again
Gadd9
She  left pain

Because you've only got  one

But  the baby is real

  Oh, you did a good thing
Dm F G
     She could have been a poet

Or,  she     could have been a fool
