[Am]
You gotta weave, you [C] gotta weave.
[G]
[Am] You gotta drag yourself on hands and knees,
[G] leaping another mile [D] along the trail.
[Am] You gotta laugh in the face of the devil
[G] when he's hanging on to your shirt tail.
[Am] You gotta hold out [G] the leg of the coffin,
[Am] hammer in the last nail.
My baby's long, [G] so [Am] far away.
[C] She's [G] never coming [Am] back to me.
My [C] baby's long, [G] so [Am] far away.
[G] She's never coming [Am] back to me.
You gotta live, you [C] gotta learn.
[G]
[Am] You gotta find your way to the end of the [G] coffin.
There's nowhere [D] left to turn.
[A] You gotta keep the last embers of a fire [G] alive
when there's nothing [D] left to burn.
[Am] You gotta save a [G] fire,
if the ashes [Am] are black,
it's like cheap metal earth.
My [C] baby's long, [G] so [Am] far away.
[C] She's [G] never coming [Am] back to me.
[C] My baby's long, [G] so [Am] far away.

My [C] baby's long, [G] so [Am] far away.
[G] She's never coming [Am] back to me.
She's taking a sleep, you [C] gotta say.
[G] [Am] The anger and grace from the living
[G] costs her no damn [D] good in the grave.
[Am] The waste of time and forgiveness,
the ones [G] who just don't know [D] how to behave.
[Am] There's heaven and [G] hell, the world is living,
[Am] the time and the place, my [C] baby's long, [G]
so [Am] far away.
