[Intro chords]
G D F
[Verse 1]
G
“Good God! Don’t Jump!”
G
A boy sat on the ledge
                     C             G
And old man who had fainted was revived
    F                             G        G7
And everyone agreed ‘twould be a miracle indeed
      C
If the boy survived
[Chorus]
  C                    Dm
“Save the life of my child!”
                      C         G D F
Cried the desperate mother
[Verse 2]
G
The woman from the supermarket
G
Ran to call the cops
                     C           G
“He must be high on something,” someone said
G                            C
Thought it never made the New York Times
G                              C
In the Daily News the caption read
[Chorus]
C                     Dm
“Save the life of my child!”
                      C         G D F
Cried the desperate mother
[Verse 3]
G
A patrol car passing by
G
Halted to a stop
               C             G
Said officer MacDougal in dismay
     G                  C
“The force can’t do a decent job
            G
‘Cause the kids got no respect
             C
For the law today” (and blah blah blah)
[Chorus]
C                     Dm
“Save the life of my child!”
                     C
Cried the desperate mother
                              Dm7
“Oh, what’s becoming of the children?”
 Dm                    C
People asking each other
[Verse 4]
G
When darkness fell, excitement kissed the crowd
G
And it made them wild
                     C          G
In an atmosphere of freaky holiday
G
When the spotlight hit the boy
G
The crowd began to cheer
C
He flew away
[Outro]
F                       C
“Oh my Grace, I got no hiding place”
F                       C
“Oh my Grace, I got no hiding place”
[repeat and fade]
