Kept Down by Mother Mother
Kept Down
[Intro]
Bm A D G
[Verse 1]
Bm A D G
If I could talk to all the children in the clouds
Bm A D G
The ones who couldn't help but take it lying down
Bm A D G
I'd say, despite your fate, you made your papa proud
Bm A D G
There's just some things a guy like that can't say out loud
G F# G A Bm G
Oh, your mama, well she just didn't know how
G F# G A Bm G
A thousand years of being told to shut her mouth
D
And kept down, down
D
Down, down
D
Kept down, down
D
Down, down
[Verse 2]
Bm A D G
If I could steal away the outcast of the class
Bm A D G
I'd break him out of there and take him to the tracks
Bm A D G
We'd bet all of it on the horse with a broke back
Bm A D G
We'd watch it win while all the stallions came in last
G F# G A Bm G
Oh, boy, you see your odds ain't all that bad
G F# G A Bm G
Slim to none, but not so slim you've got to slip
D
Between the cracks
D
So come back, come back
[Bridge]
F#m D
Pretty girl
Bm G
Wicked one
F# D
Caught your curse
B Em F F#
Cut out your to--o--ongue
[Instrumental]
F#
Bm A D G
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Bm A D G
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Bm A D G
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Bm A D G
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
[Outro]
G F# G A Bm G
One by one we let 'em burn off with the sun
G F# G A Bm G D
Can only hope they're somewhere finally having some fun
D
Being young
