[Intro]
F   Bb F

[Verse 1]
      F
I can hear the wheels of automobiles
   Bb             C                            F          Bb F
So far away, just moving along through the drifting snow
     F
It's times like these when the temperatures freeze
Bb                 C                                  F
  I sit alone just looking at the world through a storm window
Bbm                            F
   Down on the beach the sandman sleeps
Bbm                            F
   Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps
Bbm                                F
   And a country band that plays for keeps
                C    C7
They play it so slow


[Chorus]
F                  Bb       C
  Don't let your baby down
F                  Bb       C
  Don't let your baby down
F                  Bb       C
  Don't let your baby down


[Interlude]
F  Bb   F   C


[Verse 2]
          F
Well, the spirits were high 'til the well went dry
Bb                C                       F           Bb F
  For so long the raven at my window was only a crow
F
  I bought the rights to the inside fights
Bb                    C                          F
   Watched a man just beating his hand against a storm window
Bbm                              F
   While miles away o'er hills and streams
Bbm                       F
   A candle burns a witch's dreams
Bbm                        F
   Silence is golden 'til it screams
                   C     C7
Right through your bones


[Chorus]
F                  Bb       C
  Don't let your baby down
F                  Bb       C
  Don't let your baby down
F                  Bb       C
  Don't let your baby down


[Interlude]
F  Bb   F


[Bridge]
C              Bb                   F
Storm windows, gee well I'm getting old
C             G              C    C7
Storm windows keep away the cold

  Don't let your baby down

  Don't let your baby down, oh
