E                   A                      E
Oh baby, me baby, you kiss these poor lips of mine
         A                 E                 B               E
Please tell me that you love me, and your heart is forever mine
          E                            A                      E
I gotta hold it down inside me, and I feel it's too deep to fill
         A                      E
I've drowned my poor heart in misery
         B                          E
For so long, it's too far gone to heal


[Verse 2]
       E
I'm going out to the country
       A                    E
I'm going to see if I can find out why
       A                    E
That lonesome place where once was lost
        B                   E
And I hope to be home on supper time


[Verse 3]
          E
And I'm going out to the desert
       A                     E
I'm going to see if I can find out why
        A                    E
The people on the land are pausing in the sand
         B                  E
And I hope to be home for supper time


[Verse 4]
          E
And I'm going up on a mountain
       A                   E
I'm going to see if I can find out why
        A                     E
That cold mountain river, no long makes me shiver
        B                  E
But I hope to be home on supper time


[Verse 5]
         E
And I'm going out to the forest
       A                     E
I'm going to see if I can find out why
     A                       E
People all around are still cutting it all down
    B                   E
I hope to be home on supper time


[Verse 6]
      E
And I'm going upon the ocean
      A                     E
I'm going to see if I can find out why
     A                        E
No one wants to bother with cleaning up the water
       B                     E
But I hope to be home on supper time


[Verse 7]
      E
And I'm going to New York city
      A                    E
I'm going to see if I can find out why
      A                             E
Them boys on my street stole the shoes off of my feet
     B                          E
And left me without food for supper time


[Verse 8]
      E
And I'm going to join the protest
        A                 E
I'm going to stand up and sing
        A                   E
This time once again, stand up and be a man
        B                    E
Cause this land was made for you and me


[Verse 9]
      E                 A                      E
Oh baby, me baby, you kiss these poor lips of mine
        A                 E             B                    E
Please tell me that you love me, and your heart is forever mine
         E                             A                     E
I gotta hold it down inside me, and I feel it's too deep to fill
         A                      E
I've drowned my poor heart in misery
          B                       E
For so long, it's too far gone to heal
