Capo 6th fret
LA
Well I'm down here in the well
RE
Looking back up at the hill
LA
Well I thank heavens I fell
RE
Must look more like myself
LA
Now everyone is so kind
MI RE LA
Everyone looks like a long lost friend of mine
RE LA
I'm on top of the world again
MI RE LA
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
REm
Now tell me how far I've been
MI RE LA
And how deep was I in
REm
Tell me how I conceived
MI RE LA
The vanity to believe
SIm LA
That I would not be outnumbered
SIm RE MI
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
