C G Am Fsus4
when I was baby I looked like a pig
C G Am Fsus4
my nose a snout and my ears were too big
G C Em/Badd6 Am
my mother would poke at the hole
G Fsus4 G
at the back of my head where my brain was exposed
C Em/Badd6 Am G
I didn't know it then but never again
Fsus4 G C G Am G Fsus4 G
would recapture those wonderful days
C G Am Fsus4
When I was a baby I fell down a well
C G Am Fsus4
I landed deep down in the furnace of hell
G C Em/Badd6 Am
the devil would rock me to sleep
G Fsus4 G
with stories of cities of ivory and gold
C Em/Badd6 Am G
it took a long, long time before I could
Fsus4 G C G Am G Fsus4 G
escape from that terrible hole
[ C G Am G Fsus4 G ]
C G Am Fsus4
when I was a baby I lived in a crib
C G Am Fsus4
I crawled on floors and ate with a bib
G C Em/Badd6 Am
but then I was taken away
G Fsus4 G
and was sold to the circus for trinkets and beads
C Em/Badd6 Am
now I lie awake at night and dream about
G Fsus4 G C G Am G Fsus4 G
what I would do if I was ever set free
[ C G Am G Fsus4 G ]
