Tom Waits

^C Cold was ^F the ^C night, ^F hard was the ^C ground
They ^F found her in a ^C small grove of ^G trees ^G7
C Lonesome was ^F the ^C place where ^F Georgia was ^C found
She's too ^F young to be ^C out
On the ^G street.
^G7 Why wasn't God ^C watching? ^{C/B F}
Why ^G7 wasn't God ^C listening? ^{C/B F}
Why ^G7 wasn't God ^C there for
^G7 Georgia ^C Lee?
Ida said she ^C couldn't ^F keep ^C Georgia
From ^F dropping out of ^C school
I was ^F doing the ^C best that I ^G could ^G7
But ^C she just ^F kept ^C runnin a ^F way from this ^C world
These ^F children are so ^C hard to raise ^G good
^G7 Why wasn't God ^C watching? ^{C/B F}
Why ^G7 wasn't God ^C listening? ^{C/B F}
Why ^G7 wasn't God ^C there for
^G7 Georgia ^C Lee?
^G Close your ^C eyes and ^F count to ^C ten
^G I will ^C go and h ^F ide but ^G then
^Em Be sure to ^A find me. I ^F want you to ^G find me
And we'll ^C play all ^F over
We will ^C play all ^F over
We will ^C play all ^F over a ^C gain ^{G G7}
There's a ^C toad in ^F the ^C witch grass
There's a ^F crow in the ^C corn
Wild ^F flowers on a ^C cross by the ^G road ^G7
And ^C somewhere ^F a ^C baby is ^F crying
For her ^C mom
As the ^F hills turn from ^C green back
To ^G gold
^G7 Why wasn't God ^C watching? ^{C/B F}
Why ^G7 wasn't God ^C listening? ^{C/B F}
Why ^G7 wasn't God ^C there for
^G7 Georgia ^C Lee?
Why ^G7 wasn't God ^C watching? ^{C/B F}
Why ^G7 wasn't God ^C listening? ^{C/B F}
Why ^G7 wasn't God ^C there for
^G7 Georgia ^C Lee?
^{F C G C}
And there it is! Enjoy! Long live Tom waits!
