CEvery, everything IEm've learned went Frunning out into the night
CYou named me baby bEmlue, took my shakFy hands
CLoved me for a year Emor two, then danFced away again
Cohhhhh oGhhhhhh ohhFhhhh

CNow I guess I underEmstand, it took a Fwhile to learn
CYou were trying to teach Emme that, to damn Fthe heavy words
CMeet me down in GettysEmburg, hold me in Fthe shade
CRolling on the very Emearth where dyinFg boys had laid
FWhere dying boys had laid
Come on down if you can
Come on, join the band (x2)
