Up From Under

D 
Well I'm down here in the well 
                                   G 
Looking back up at the hill 
D 
Well I thank heavens I fell 
                                   G 
Must look more like myself 
                               D 
Now everyone is so kind 
         A             G          D 
Everyone looks like a long lost friend of mine 
G                       D 
I'm on top of the world again 
          A                     G           D 
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 

Gm 
Now tell me how far I've been 
A                    G      D 
And how deep was I in 
Gm 
Tell me how I conceived 
A                    G         D 
The vanity to believe 
            Em                 D 
That I would not be outnumbered 
              E             G       A 
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
