Capo 1st fret

D5
Well I'm down here in the well
                                   G5
Looking back up at the hill
D5
Well I thank heavens I fell
                                   G5
Must look more like myself
                               D5
Now everyone is so kind
         A5             G5          D5
Everyone looks like a long lost friend of mine
G5                       D5
I'm on top of the world again
          A5                     G5           D5
When I'm looking up from under Babylon

I had a home in the fields
Earned my wage in the factories there
And I was raised by the mill
And I worked with my brothers there
I told my mother I'd always write
I headed west for the coast with the big city lights
Now mamma I'm so sorry I've forgotten
But now I'm looking up from under Babylon

G5
Now tell me how far I've been
A5                    G5      D5
And how deep was I in
G5
Tell me how I conceived
A5                    G5         D5
The vanity to believe
            E5                 D5
That I would not be outnumbered
              E5             G5       A5
By the thumbs I have been under

Now stray dogs in the street
Learn how to beg, steal, borrow and cheat
And in the dead summer heat I fell asleep with blood on my teeth
But those days before I met you girl
Were just ice cream falling down  on the shoes of my world
I'm so happy that you're my friend
When we're looking  up from under Babylon

When we're looking up from under Babylon
