Up From Under

[D]Well I'm down here in the well
Looking back up at the hill        [G]
[D]Well I thank heavens I fell
Must look more like myself         [G]
Now everyone is so kind        [D]
Everyone [A]looks like a l[G]ong lost fr[D]iend of mine
[G]I'm on top of the world [D]again
When I'm l[A]ooking up from under B[G]abylon      [D]

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]And how deep was I in[G]       [D]
[Gm]Tell me how I conceived
[A]The vanity to believe[G]          [D]
That I would[Em] not be outnumbered[D]
By the thumbs [E]I have been un[G]der     [A]

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
