Intro 1
(G major) (D minor) (G major) (D minor)
Verse 1
(G major) 1912 in (D major) New York,
(E minor) I took a walk up (D major) to Park Avenue,
(C major) Sips some brew with my good (G major) friend
Maggie the bohemian
Lord, (E minor) she's quite (D major) a woman of (G major) the world
(C major) And I'm the envy of the men (D major) (E minor)
Heaven help (C major) the child (E minor)
Heaven help (C major) the child
(G major) Paris in the (D major) twenties
It (E minor) can offer plenty (D major) to a (C major) young man
with a vision, so they say (G major)
With a friend named (D major) Fitzgerald
(E minor) I'm off to see the (D major) old world
On a (C major) merchant steamer
bound for Biscay (D major) Bay (E minor)
Heaven help (C major) the child (E minor)
Heaven help the (C major) child
Take (G major) him back (D major) to where (E minor) he's (D major) never been (C major)
(E minor) We're all building (D major) wall (G major) s,
they should be (C major) bridges (E minor)
We're all building (D major) wall (G major) s,
they should (C major) be bridges
(G major) Nothin' like a (D major) freight train,
(E minor) get you to the (D major) city
Would you (C major) pick another sad one for me, (G major) Jim?
I hate to leave the (D major) old man all alone
(E minor) to work the (D major) cotton
But (G major) the (C major) country never seemed
to bother him (D major) (E minor)
Heaven help (C major) the child
(E minor) Heaven help (C major) the child
(G major) Heaven help (D major) the chil (E minor) dren
(D major) Find (G major) their (C major) way
War (G major) is hell (D major) to live with,
(E minor) I said to the (D major) General
As we (C major) made the battle plans
out for the (G major) day
This'll be the last (D major) one, (E minor) only God be (D major) willing
We can (C major) go back home,
this time to (D major) stay (E minor)
Heaven help (C major) the child
(E minor) Heaven help (C major) the child
An (G major) d (D major) help the (E minor) children
find (D major) their (C major) way (A minor) (G major)
